MONTMINY ART GALLERY
In April 1994 the Boone County Historical Society dedicated the 8,000-square-foot Montminy Gallery at the Walters-Boone County Historical Museum and Visitors Center. The gallery was made possible by generous gifts from the estate of Tracy and Pierre Montminy, the Boone County National Bank, the Boone Community Trust, the Heinkel Foundation, and from Boone County residents. The gallery is devoted to the care and display of the paintings of the Montminys and to the storage, exhibition and reproductions of the Society's rare collection of more than half a million original photographic glass plates and negatives depicting life in Boone County from 1867 until the mid-twentieth century. |
