Our building is our most important artifact. It provides a protective home for our historic collections, keeps you safe when you visit, and tells an important story about everyday Washingtonians who have shaped our past and help us learn how to build a better future. 

How do we ensure our 130 year old building continues to last for another 130 years? Upcoming building projects to improve our roof, HVAC system, elevator, and windows will allow us to continue to preserve local history, engage residents with people-driven programming, and stimulate economic opportunities for local makers. Will you help us take care of this important place so it can continue to take care of you?
