Program accomplishments

  • Conduct monthly tours of the grounds of the National Park Seminary campus, a former school for girls opened in 1894 and converted into an extension of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 1942. We serve approximately 200-300 persons per year in scheduled monthly tours, requested group tours, and a bi-annual tour of the Glen at National Park Seminary. Printing costs included in accomplishment2, below; they are hard to separate, as many of our handouts are used for multiple purposes.
  • Conduct quarterly lectures/presentations on the history of the National Park Seminary and the Walter Reed Army Medical Center Forest Glen Annex campus. Prior to the Covid Pandemic, we served about 150-200 persons per year; with the start of Covid, we switched to an on-line format with a smaller in-person attendance but a much wider viewership through our website, www.saveourseminary.org, where we post recordings of the lectures. Program expenses listed include the cost of hosting the website, and reproduction of handouts for in-person tours.
    Expenses $142
  • Preserve the historic statuary and other features of the National Park Seminary, in concert with the current property owners. In FY 22, after several years of fundraising and negotiations with the Maryland Historical Trust, we were finally able to have a historic zinc statue of a Native American restored to its original condition, representing how it looked when it was first placed on the site nearly 100 years ago. You can see a photo of the newly restored statue here: https://saveourseminary.org/news/. After the major expenditures of 2022, we had only minor expenditures for statuary cleaning and software licenses as we raise funds for our next project.
    Expenses $250
