RAM's Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts
Building Information
Building Information:
In 1938, Jennie E. Wustum honored her husband's memory by donating their house, property, and a small trust fund to the city of Racine, Wisconsin. She wanted to create an art museum and park that would benefit future generations. In 1941, her donation formally became the Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts through the cooperative efforts of the City of Racine and the Racine Art Association (now the Racine Art Museum Association). The former Wustum home - an 1856 Italianate-style farmhouse - is the center of the Wustum Museum campus, which also includes 13 acres of park, with a one-acre formal garden - designed by famed Wisconsin landscape architect Alfred Boerner - and a 1966 classroom/studio addition.
