From June 27, 1948 through some time in 1976, 55 paintings, 17 watercolors and 38 oils by William Starkweather were on permanent display to the public. The Museum was owned and operated by Major Edward Brown. When the Museum closed, some of the paintings were kept by the Brown family, some sold at auction and the rest were donated to the James Madison University Art Collection.

Before June 1948, Peter or Paul Juley photographed 50 paintings in William Starkweather's studio. The dates they were painted, the mediums and most of the titles were not identified. The Juley collection of photographs is now a part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The Smithsonian scholars hope to identify all of the photographs so they can post the images on their web site.
