Exhibits & Events |
In 2004 the Nancy Ford Cones Gallery was opened on the second floor of Bonaventure. A rotating exhibit of Cones photographs will be on permanent display.
The museum is fortunate to have a large collection of photographs by internationally known photographer Nancy Ford Cones (1869-1962). Many of these are on permanent display, changing from time to time to coincide with a specific exhibit. Cones was a resident of Loveland and she used local people and scenes in many of her pictorial photographs. Her imagery documented early Ohio country life while satisfying an international taste for romantic images of provincial life.
The museum also has a large collection of textiles, some dating to the mid 1800's. Most have been donated by members and are from the Loveland area. These are periodically used in exhibits to portray a life style of days gone by.
