    This is another of the great small sites that the Missouri State Park system preserves. It provides a look not only into the artist's life, but into life over the time the Bentons lived in this...

    Neat museum about an artist that many have seen but most don’t know. House and studio with an interesting video interview to watch.
  • By Gentle John
