"I've always been a bit smitten with the Cahoon Museum," Nickerson says. "As an art writer, covering a show there was one of my favorite assignments. I was charmed by the old house as a setting for Ralph and Martha Cahoon's folk art paintings and other works of American art. I feel thrilled and privileged to now share in guiding the development of this gem of a museum."
Nickerson assumed the position on March 20, 2000.
