About the Favell Museum: For nearly 5 decades the Favell Museum has protected and preserved some of the nation’s finest Native American artifacts and contemporary Western art – including paintings by Charles Russell, John Clymer, and Frank McCarthy. America’s Byways magazine called the Favell Museum one of the three best such museums in the United States. The museum founders hosted nationally acclaimed art shows from 1973–2001. The private museum eventually became a non-profit. In 2013 the tradition of supporting and promoting exceptional artists was proudly renewed. The museum art show (fundraiser) is held in the Fall, a busy time for visitorship to the Favell Museum.
