Pleissner Gallery

Pleissner was a close friend of the Webb family who earned national recognition during his lifetime for his realist watercolor and oil landscapes and sporting scenes.

The main gallery functions as a rotating exhibition space dedicated to displaying works from Pleissner's diverse portfolio, while the adjoining room houses a recreation of Pleissner's Manchester, Vermont, studio complete with canvases, brushes, and personal memorabilia.

The gallery shows watercolors and oil paintings from all periods of Pleissner's career, including early renderings, Western landscapes, works from war-torn France and England, and sporting scenes.

In later years he painted in Europe, Nova Scotia, New York City (where he maintained a winter studio), and Vermont.

Pleissner was the recipient of many honors and awards, including a gold medal from the American Watercolor Society.
