Exploring and Honoring the Marshall Legacy

We were honored to welcome Senator Tim Kaine and Representative Suhas Subramanyam to Dodona Manor on Wednesday, following the enactment of legislation they championed to designate General George C. Marshall’s historic home a National Park Service (NPS) affiliated area.

Both lawmakers generously spent time with Marshall Center board members, including Chairman Paul Michaels and David Cattler; Executive Director Valérie Beaudoin; other staff members; and alumni of our Ethical Leadership Conference for high school students. A tour led by President Emeritus Tom Greenspon brought these public servants and emerging leaders together to reflect on Marshall’s remarkable legacy and its continued resonance today.

NPS affiliation will help preserve Dodona Manor, improve accessibility and expand opportunities to discover Marshall’s extraordinary legacy. It’s a powerful endorsement of a national treasure and the Leesburg and Loudoun County community we call home.

Thank you, Senator Kaine and Representative Subramanyam, for helping carry that legacy forward, and thank you to Senator Mark Warner for his support.

Their commitment helps us preserve more than a historic home: it helps sustain a place where selfless service, unwavering integrity and visionary leadership can inspire action today and into the future.
