Come, explore creativity! Our museum, the country retreat of American artist Gari Melchers and his wife Corinne, is one of the best-preserved artist homes and studio in America. Overlooking the Rappahannock River’s Fall Line, the 27-acre estate features the historic home, art studio and galleries, gardens, historic buildings, and several miles of walking trails.
