CONWAY — There’s a new museum in town, dedicated to the historic paintings of the White Mountain School of Art of the 19th century.
Set to open Thursday, it’s located at 2541 White Mountain Highway (next to TD Bank in the 3,000 square feet of space that was formerly home to the local branch of White Mountains Community College).
