A further exploration of the Wyeth story can be found at the Kuerner Farm Tour. From the age of 15, Andrew Wyeth, son of N.C. Wyeth, was inspired by the nearby home of Karl and Anna Kuerner. Nearly 1000 paintings and drawings were created at and by the property; the tour includes areas of the house, barn and landscape depicted in many of these works.
The Andrew Wyeth Studio, originally a schoolhouse, was built in 1875 and was Wyeth’s home for over two decades. He and wife Betsy raised their two boys here and son Jamie’s first studio was also in the family home. Andrew Wyeth painted in the studio from 1940 until 2008 and thousands of works are associated with the building and surrounding landscape.
