"The Arnot Art Museum was founded with the bequest by Matthias H. Arnot of his collection, home and an endowment in 1910. In 1913 the Arnot Art Gallery opened in the renovated Greek Revival home built by John Arnot, Sr. in 1833, the year of Matthias's birth. Since then it has grown to become one of the leading cultural institutions in the region."

Death Notice
Unidentified Newsclipping - February 1910
ARNOT.--At the meeting of the Board of Managers of the Arnot-Ogden Hospital, held last evening, the following resolutions of respect to Mr. Arnot was adopted: Matthias H. Arnot, aged seventy-seven, died at his city home the fifteenth of February 1910. Mr. Arnot, the leading corporate member of the Board of Managers, was also, always, a chief guiding member. To the initiative of himself, and his sister Mrs. Marianna (Arnot) Ogden, the foundation of the hospital is due, and a substantial endowment was supplied by themselves, their family and friendly connections. Such aggregate expenditure for plant and sustenance to date, is more than a million dollars, not only with his means and influence, but also with affection he fostered the hospital, with parental watchfullness and kept knowledge of all its affairs. Mr. Arnot's characteristic conservativeness has, many a time, saved the community from commercial disaster. The extent of his considerate helpfulness to worthy debtors and unfortunate acquaintances cannot be completely known, but assuredly was abundant. His fidelity and constancy were also striking traits of his character. We, his associate managers, mourn his loss to the whole community, but specially grievous is his loss to the hospital and to each personally. This minute in our proceedings testifies to our high appreciation of his great worthiness; to our sorrow and sympathy with others who by his departure are also bereaved. It is grateful to feel that this charity, the Arnot-Ogden Memorial Hospital, will remain a token of the munificence and benevolent regard of its founders.
