A master watercolorist and pioneer of the Precisionist style, Charles Demuth (1883 – 1935) was an early American Modern artist and a native of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The Demuth Museum was established in 1981 in his former home and studio. Today, the Demuth Museum offers a unique experience of Demuth‘s artistic life and groundbreaking works through its collections, exhibitions, and educational programs that explore Demuth‘s legacy. The museum‘s permanent collection contains over 55 Demuth works from throughout the artist‘s career, which rotates on display.
Visitors can also enjoy the Demuth gardens, planted with many of the same flowers cultivated by the artist‘s mother and featured in his renowned floral works.
Said to have been the oldest tobacco shop in the United States, the Demuth Tobacco Shop closed its doors in 2010. Enjoy a virtual tour featuring the history of the Demuth Tobacco Shop & Snuff Mill!
