I wandered into this art museum when they were doing exhibit installation and part of it was…read moreclosed. Entry was free, so there was no reason not to go. It was way too cold to go outside, but this museum is next to a lake in a park area that would admit of some walking during the summer. Despite the limited selection, I found a compelling suite of Americana and a nice atrium and event space in the middle of the museum. There were some pieces worthy of thought, and I rather wished I'd been in to see the visiting exhibition. Having said that, for a community the size of Hagerstown to have a building that looks this nice, is free, and has quality art is a great resource.

The Washington County Museum of Fine Arts is a lovely museum nestled in the greenery of…read moreHagerstown's City Park. The museum has a good variety of exhibitions for visitors to enjoy as well as a permanent collection of art pieces. The Museum also exhibits the art of local students each year, which is always a treat. It's free to the public (donations are happily accepted) and visitors are greeted by the friendly staff as soon as they enter. I've been visiting this museum since I was a child and still very much enjoy it. Definitely give it a try the next time you're in the area!

What an amazing place! You literally can just feel the history in the walls of this place…read more The Miller House (which also houses the Washington County Historical Society) was built in 1825 and may just look like an ordinary brick building from the front, but you would never guess this structure has over 20 rooms and 4 staircases. Ms. Linda, the Executive Director of the historical society, gave my classmates and I a tour of the house and it was amazing (and a workout).

Went for a tour at Christmas with my neighbors. We had a lot…read moreof fun and enjoyed looking through the photographs and exhibits in the adjacent building while waiting for our tour to start. Our guide was well informed and we learned about the many unique German customs families kept in 18th century Washington County. It was a cold day and the house was not warm, but we weren't surprised. We all live in old houses ourselves. They're drafty! This is a gem of a museum right next door to our crown jewel, the Wash. Co. Museum of Fine Arts in the City Park.

My relationship with Just Lookin started with a call to the gallery in search of hard to find…read moreartwork by a recently deceased artist. I was so happy to learn the gallery did have the artist's work available, and the owner Eileen was so gracious to email me photos. I couldn't wait to visit. A visit I anticipated would only be a couple of hours, turned into about six! My breath was taken away by the sight of all the ORIGINAL Black art... wall-to-wall, framed and unframed, on the shelves, in sleeves, on canvas, on paper, different mediums... paintings, sculptures, quilts... by artists national and international. I've never experienced anything like it! And as if the art isn't enough, Eileen, is so engaging and a pleasure to get to know. Her knowledge of the Black art industry is incredible. I encourage all collectors living-in or traveling-to the DMV to visit this humble jewel of a gallery; the website doesn't do it any justice! It's certainly worth the trip.
