The Muskegon Museum of Art, originally known as the Hackley Art Gallery, was founded in 1912 through a bequest from Charles Hackley, a prominent lumber baron who invested heavily in Muskegon's post-lumber boom recovery. Although Hackley did not live to see the gallery built, he left a $150,000 expendable trust in his will for the acquisition of "pictures of the best kind," known as the Hackley Picture Fund. By 1910, the Muskegon Public Schools Board of Education decided to construct a museum-quality facility to house the growing collection...
