The Carolyn Burns Foundation

​Thanks to longtime museum supporter Carolyn Burns, this painting by Ferrier and Stocker of Eureka from 1854 received conservation treatment and looks amazing! Special thanks to Eureka Art and Frame for the amazing work. Originally donated by Mrs. Evan Danks, Catalog #: 1964.1.213

This is the third painting restoration funded by the Carolyn Burns Foundation. A fourth has just been sent for restoration.


The painting below is now on display in our Victorian Room.
