Relocation of Memorial House Museum Furniture

George Washington Birthplace National Monument » Relocation of Memorial House Museum Furniture » Document List

In 2023, the MHM underwent a project to rehabilitate all the windows and doors within the building. During this effort, curatorial staff conducted a full assessment of the furnishings in the building, all of which are in the park's museum collection. The assessment revealed that many items, have been on exhibit for decades and are in poor condition and are in need of professional conservation and care.

To preserve these furnishings, it is recommended that all Washington Family items be relocated to the curatorial facility in the park for conservation and care and could be used in future exhibits in the park and the rest of the furniture and furnishings be moved to an offsite facility for conservation and care.
