About
Experience the captivating art at Bannerman Island Gallery in Beacon. This esteemed gallery is currently exhibiting historic works by renowned artist John Fleming Gould, including early pulp illustrations, Hudson Valley paintings and more. In the early 1990s, actor/director Neil Caplan, now the Executive Director and Founder of the Bannerman Castle Trust, discovered Gould’s illustration in a publication and became captivated by the historic island. Recognizing its potential for public tours, concerts, and theatrical events, Neil approached the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation to preserve its structures and open Pollepel Island to the public to what we are now able experience today.
