The Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum
Source

The Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum is housed in the historic Atwood-Blauvelt mansion, which was built in 1897. This mansion is located on Kinderkamack Road in Oradell, Bergen County, New Jersey. The mansion is a significant example of shingle style architecture, which was popular in the United States in the late 19th century.

History of the Mansion's Ownership

The Atwood-Blauvelt mansion, which houses the Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum, is named after its original owner, Kimball Chase Atwood, and its second owner, Elmer Blauvelt. Atwood was the founder of an insurance company and a grapefruit magnate, while Blauvelt was a businessman involved in the coal and lumber industry.

The Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum and Foundation

The Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum and Foundation, which was established in 1957, is located in the carriage house adjoining the mansion. The museum was founded pursuant to the will of Hiram Blauvelt, who was a prolific hunter. His collection of stuffed animals and wildlife-related art forms the foundation of the museum's collection.
