Selections from Our Permanent Collection: Origins

The Bascom has a vibrant history in Highlands, starting in one room of the Hudson Library and blossoming into the beautiful campus you see today. Please enjoy the Bascom Staff’s selection of work from our beginning years and we hope to have you watch as we continue to grow.

A free, public reception will be held Thursday, February 23 at 5pm at The Bascom to celebrate our three current winter exhibitions.
