Museum for Preservation of Illustrative Art

Located just west of the Hudson River, the Museum for Preservation of Illustrative Art is a non-profit museum that displays the art of illustrators who influenced and portrayed contemporary society.

Until television replaced magazines as the major form of media in the United States, illustrators were a huge cultural influence and recorded in illustrations the history of American society. Mark Miller, a major illustrator in the early 20th century and student of artists such as Norman Rockwell, displays his collection of art at his museum and vineyards. The collection includes illustrations of the English seashore, the French Riviera, and New York's Central Park. His art was featured in magazines such as McCall's, Good Housekeeping, and Redbook, to name a few.

The museum is located on the picturesque grounds of the Benmarl Vineyards. This setting allows visitors to view the Hudson River while enjoying the local surroundings. Groups are often seen at the museum and group rates are availbale. Reservations can be made in advance for guided and self-guided tours. The museum is closed on all major holidays. School children who arrive for learning and workshops must be accompanied by an adult chaperone. Large groups must be screened in advance.:
