Fort Plain Museum chairman Norm Bollen has announced that the museum has reached an agreement with a private collector to purchase an original portrait of Sir William Johnson painted in 1756.
“We are very excited to add this historic painting to our collections” said Bollen. The purchase of this painting is in line with our ongoing mission to preserve and collect the 18th century history of the Mohawk Valley for future generations to learn from and enjoy. The painting was originally owned by Robert Chambers, the author of more than 70 novels and short stories, many of which were about the Mohawk Valley in the American Revolution, with several turned into popular silent movies of that era.
The painting, currently on loan to the museum, will remain on exhibition while the museum raises the money to complete the transaction. Contributions supporting the purchase may be sent to the Fort Plain Museum, P.O. Box 324, Fort Plain, NY 13339.
