Project Overview
During "Discover the Real George Washington: New Views from Mount Vernon," an exhibit at the Minnesota History Center in early 2011, Minnesotans got a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience first-hand original artifacts associated with George Washington. Washington put his personal stamp on our country at the moment of its birth, a stamp that still resonates and has modern-day relevancy for today's Minnesotans, as we learn about our state's history in the larger context of our nation's history.
Today's avid public interest in presidential politics, constitutional law and many other issues that can be traced to the early days of the American republic, are a clear demonstration of the usefulness of such an exhibition to Minnesota--a priceless opportunity to look and learn from Washington's authentic example. Arts and Cultural Heritage funds helped pay rental and installation fees for the exhibit.
