Learn about the Robert Henri Museum (Museum for a great 20th Century Artist)
(The August 13 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)

Some know exactly why they're here – they want to actually feel the presence, the soul, if you will, of Robert Henri. Knowing the brilliance of Henri, they feel the need to walk through the building, touch the surfaces of the original wainscoting wall panels throughout the house or look at the tin ceiling in the lobby.
Imagine the sense of unreality of just walking up and down the stairs in this former home, strolling through the bedroom where he and his brother slept, to know the family ate in the dining room as it still is now – all these things become a step back in time and fill the visitor with a sense of awe.
