Both Fenimore Art Museum and The Farmers’ Museum will recognize Mother’s Day by offering free admission to all mothers, grandmothers, and mothers-to-be on Sunday, May 8, 2022, from 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

At Fenimore, view the permanent collections and four current exhibitions including Ralph Fasanella: Americans Unseen, Al Hirschfeld: Caricaturist to the Stars, North by Nuuk: Greenland After Rockwell Kent—Photographs by Denis Defibaugh, and the recently opened Drawn from Life: Three Generations of Wyeth Figure Studies.

At The Farm, experience the new exhibit Growing Tomorrow’s Farmers which celebrates the role children played on family farms from the 19th century to the present. The kids will love the cute farm animals at the Lippitt Farmstead. You can also explore the country village–making family memories that will last a lifetime.

To enhance the visit, grab a bite to eat at the Fenimore Café from 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. The Café features outdoor seating on the museum’s expansive garden terrace overlooking picturesque Otsego Lake. The Fenimore Gift Shop and The Farmers’ Museum Store are filled with new items and perfect gift ideas for both you and Mom.
