The National Museum of American Illustration was originally created in 1998 by Laurence and Judy Cutler to display their personal collection of "Golden Age" American Illustration art.
Today, the seven galleries located within the venue exhibit art featuring a variety of American periods, styles and artists. The galleries are located within the Vernon Court Mansion, an 18th-century chateau once listed with the White House and The Breakers as one of the ten greatest mansions in America.
In a 1904 edition of American Estates and Gardens, Vernon Court was celebrated for its “startling beauty and daring originality”. Weekly tours, private VIP tours, group tours, and self-guided audio tours are offered. Visitors will love strolling the property’s collection of exquisite gardens.
