For half a century, visitors national and international alike have traveled to Kent, Connecticut, to obtain perspective on one of America’s most enduring artists. Since opening on 30 May 1969, the Eric Sloane Museum has presented the artist’s collection of early American tools and original works of arts, and serves as a source of education, inspiration, and as a touchstone for tens of thousands of visitors. It is, for so many reasons, a remarkable achievement and testament to a man aptly described as “in constant motion”. How did this delightful museum, the exhibits envisioned and crafted by the artist himself, come to pass? It began with a town dump and an art show – and became a national treasure.
