The 185-year-old building features interactive history installations
“It helps us appreciate what we have and that there were people who came before us,” she said, “who lived in more meager means, that allowed us to have the life we do now.”
The site underwent a restoration and relocation in 2018 in partnership with the Trust for the National Mall, but the pandemic shut its doors. Now the historic site is reopening with new interactive exhibits and a multimedia program that takes viewers through the history of the structure and the evolution of the Mall.
The interactive exhibits and multimedia programming came from an investment of about $1 million from the National Park Service, Moore said. “The National Mall cannot be only taken care of by government funding alone,” Townsend said. “It will take private philanthropy to help sustain, restore and preserve those iconic treasures to the country for years, generations to come.”
