Anna and August Heckscher founded the Heckscher Museum in 1920. They donated the Museum building and 185 works of art to the Town of Huntington, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Heckscher envisioned Heckscher Park and the Museum as the center of the community’s cultural, recreational, and social life. One hundred years later, the Museum continues to champion the value of publicly accessible art and arts education.
