Collection
The historic Paine property holds a collection of more than a thousand artworks, including paintings, sculptures, furnishings, and decorative objects. A selection of collection highlights is featured below.
The rooms and hallways of the Paine mansion display many items from Nathan and Jessie Kimberly Paines’ collection of fine art and decorative objects, most notably, French Barbizon and American landscape paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily purchased in the mid-1920’s.
The estate’s gardens also feature several sculptures as focal points of the outdoor “galleries.” While a majority of the collection was acquired by the Paines, it has also grown substantially through donations and purchases while continuing to reflect the subjects and spirit of the founder’s original gift.
