OGDENSBURG -- The Frederic Remington Art Museum, 303 Washington St., as part of its winter program, will offer guided tours at 2 p.m. every last Saturday of each month through April.

The next program called “Saturday Afternoons with Frederic Remington” will be Saturday, Feb. 25, at 2 p.m. This volunteer-driven initiative began with a small start in January, and hopes are high that it will catch on with visitors looking for informed dialogue about Remington's art.

The public is invited to spend the afternoon enjoying the work of Frederic Remington and hearing about his fascinating life. Docents will be on hand to talk with visitors.

Frederic Remington, famous for his depiction of the West: cowboys, the military and Indians, was born in Canton in 1861 and spent part of his youth in Ogdensburg.

He never forgot his roots and returned to the North Country regularly. The museum features a large collection of northern landscapes that reflect his love of our region.

Besides Remington's art, the museum houses various personal and studio effects, such as his easel, paints, photographs and even his wife Eva’s diamond ring and the cigars that were in his pocket when he died.

Also on view is the 20th Annual Middle & High School Art Exhibit in the Richard E. Winter Gallery, and an exhibit of recently donated paintings by the late Ruth E. Claxton in the Torrey Family Gallery.

Refreshments will be served.

The museum is open October 15 through May 15, Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. and May 16 through October 14, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, 1-5 p.m.
