Mission

We make the past usable, connecting our community and audiences with their history and culture to chart a way forward.

Impact

Honoring the place where many of our nation’s earliest leaders studied, we strengthen historical literacy to support an engaged citizenry.

Values

A Culture of INCLUSION

We create safe and welcoming spaces. We strive to remove barriers that prevent audiences – and potential audiences – from engaging with integrity.

A Culture of INSPIRATION

We work to spark curiosity. We invite new ways of thinking. We ask hard questions of our audiences and of each other.

A Culture of SUSTAINABILITY

We plan for the future. We invest strategically. We anticipate and evolve.
