At the height of the lumber boom, 50 saw mills were stationed around Muskegon Lake. Charles Hackney was one of the few lumber barons that remained when fortunes changed. He initiated many philanthropic projects. Although art was one of his priorities, it was only posthumously that the Hackley Picture Fund was established.
It paid for a building next to the Hackley Public Library and the genesis of the art collection. The Walker family later became significant benefactors. They donated works of art and financed an expansion of the building. The Muskegon Museum of Art offers field trips, art classes and family fun days.
