- The Margaret Harwell Art Museum was founded in 1981 from money bequeathed to the city of Poplar Bluff by the late Margaret Harwell. Margaret loved art and her community. With her donation, a committee was formed to create an art museum. The historic Moore-Dalton Home was selected. The second resident of the home, James Dalton, patented the first adding machine in the United States in 1904. He made a huge fortune with this remarkable advancement of technology. His history, a fabulous permanent collection, as well as traveling exhibits may be found inside, six days a week (museum closes between exhibits so check our web page for updated schedules). There is a beautiful sculpture garden that wraps around the building which is accessible 24/7. Handicap parking in rear with an ADA path through the garden and into the front entrance of the museum.The Margaret Harwell Art Museum was founded in 1981 from money bequeathed to the city of Poplar Bluff by the late Margaret Harwell.
