On October 20th 1976, without fanfare, a library and museum unique in America came into existence. It is an entity dedicated to providing information about our national heritage to the American
Public.
This
facility
is
available
to
anyone
who
cares
to
learn
of
the
heroic
efforts
made
by
American
Patriots,
particularly
members
of
the
Masonic
Fraternity,
in
founding
and
developing
this,
the
greatest
nation
on
earth.
In
the
early
1970's
the
National
President
of
NATIONAL
SOJOURNERS,
INC.
formed
a
committee
to
find
and
establish
a
National
Home.
In
1975
this
committee
reported
to
the
National
Convention
that
they
had
located
what
they
believed
to
be
the
perfect
property
for
this
purpose.
The
real
estate
they
had
found
consisted
of
almost
nine
acres
fronting
on
both
the
Potomac
River
and
the
George
Washington
Memorial
Parkway
in
Alexandria,
VA.
This
property
had
been
purchased
by
George
Washington
in
1760
and
made
a
part
of
his
River
farm,
the
largest
of
the
five
working
farms
which
were
a
part
of
the
the
Mount
Vernon
estate.
In
1785
a
modest
farm
house
was
built,
most
likely
as
a
residence
for
his
assistant
manager.
As
the
years
passed
there
were
at
least
three
major
additions
to
the
house.
The
current
building
had
been
neglected
over
the
years
while
being
put
to
a
variety
of
uses.
It
was
a
"fixer-upper"
to
test
the
mettle
of
the
most
dedicated
restoration
devotee.
