The Huron County Museum has seen a George Agnew Reid painting return to the facility thanks to a donation of the painting The Homeseekers Fording the Credit.
It was recently donated from the Perkins Bull Collection. Most of the collection’s archival holdings were donated to the Region of Peel Archives, but they recognized the connection to Huron County and reached out to the Museum seeking a new home for the piece.
The painting was received by the Museum earlier this month and is now on display in the upper Agricultural Hall.
George Agnew Reid was a Canadian artist, painter, and influential educator who is best known as a genre painter, depicting scenes from ordinary life which were largely inspired by his early memories of Huron County.
