Jan and John Bealer’s support of the local arts extended beyond the walls of the museum, and their collection of paintings, drawings, and sculptures from local artists grew as Jan continued to work with and support her contemporaries. In the past year, we have made some significant educational partnerships to help establish ourselves as the premier historical organization in our region, committed to engendering a sense of place in the community and sharing the strength and foresight of our industrial community in forging our American nation. In 2018, Jan and John’s daughter Barbara Bealer and her husband, David Greene, graciously donated Jan and John’s art collection to Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites in memory of her parents. This donation is an invaluable addition to the fine art holdings at our institution.
