What a gift Terry Redlin gave the city of Watertown. The museum building itself is also a work of art and the grounds around it are lovely. We spent 4 hours viewing the paintings and reading all the wonderful history of Terry's life and why he painted what he did. We enjoyed our visit so much. More

Terry Redlin is an AMerican artist who specialized in nature scense and rural Americana. He's popular in the upper Midwest -- especially with outdoor enthusiasts (hunters, fishermen). The museum displays his works on oil. Visitors can purchase framed prints, plates, post cards, holiday cards, mugs, and a variety of other gifts bearing images Mr. Redlin has painted. Admission is free. More

Many of Terry Redlin's original paintings are available for visitors to view. Beautiful building. Nice gift shop. A true treasure for the community. I have visited the museum multiple times and have enjoyed walking through every time. I have seen young kids go through and like what they see. More

There are 3 floors of his exhibits, from his first drawing with a pencil and paper, to his later paintings. There is a huge garden behind the museum that you can walk on the trails. This museum is easily accessible... More

admission is free and you can offer donations. So many beautiful works of art and the grounds out back have walking paths, gazebos, and ponds where you can feed the geese. Bring your camera! More
