overview : For more than five decades - until television replaced the magazine as the major carrier of family action, advertising and editorial comment - these magazine illustrators created thousands of drawings and paintings which form a unique pictorial record - an intimate insight on the evolution of post-war America. - The Museum, now in its formative stages, is located on the scenic grounds of the Millers' romantic Benmarl Vineyards. Set high on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River, the grounds of the Museum remind one of a painting in the tradition of the Hudson River School of artists.
