Exhibition 'Happy Little Beech-Nuts' in Arkell Museum and Canajoharie Library

We are bringing more Beech-Nut to the Arkell Museum!

Explore the museum and see cases featuring Beech-Nut Christmas boxes, counter displays, and bricks from the original building. This year we have transformed the Inspiration Gallery into an exhibition of Beech-Nut advertiser Cushman Parker.


Artist Cushman Parker got his start in advertising for the Beech-Nut company where his illustrations of happy children sold Beech-Nut products for twenty years.

Gift of David Kunz, 1982

Made possible by the support of the New York State Council On the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
