Graduations provide one last opportunity to influence to students, and Marshall always seized that opportunity when asked to give a commencement address. Although this remark was delivered specifically to cadets at the West Point, its implications go beyond life as a soldier.
The Marshall Center is committed to inspiring this principled leadership Marshall himself promoted. If you’re interested in supporting that mission, please consider joining us as a member. #gcmic

"Why do you write like you're running out of time?"
Happy National Typewriter Day! During his career, Marshall wrote enough letters and memos to fill five volumes. We display his typewriter on the desk where he read and composed thousands of now-historic documents. #gcmic

#OTD in 1947, Secretary of State George Marshall delivered a Harvard University address in which he proposed a plan that would shape the future of postwar Europe. It was officially signed into law as the European Recovery Act, but the policy's unofficial title carries the name of the visionary leader who recognized its importance for the future of freedom and democracy in the Western world: The Marshall Plan. #gcmic

The George C. Marshall International Center in Leesburg is offering a special program for rising Loudoun County high school seniors.

Looking back on the restoration of George Marshall's Dodona Manor has made us deeply grateful for the generosity of those who have supported our preservation efforts through the years. Though much has been done to recover the house as the Marshalls knew and loved it, the work of historic preservation is never finished. We have several restoration needs around the house and grounds that your financial support could enable us to meet.

Shortly after exterior restorations were complete, interior restorations began. Marshall's stepdaughter had vacated the house years before its sale due to serious infrastructure problems that required rewiring, plumbing and installing an advanced geothermal heating and cooling system. By the time Dodona Manor re-opened in 2005, the dilapidated interior had successfully been transformed back into the beautiful home the Marshalls enjoyed during their time there. #gcmic #preservationmonth

In 1999, after five-plus years of fundraising, the George C. Marshall Preservation Fund was finally able to secure the purchase of Dodona Manor and begin the restoration process. Exterior restoration began that July with the installation of a new drainage system; the repair of the two-story brick bay window and all 19th-century windows; and the addition of a standing-seam metal roof over the federal-style rear of the house. As you can tell from these pictures, the house has come a long way! #gcmic #preservationmonth

We thoroughly enjoyed Mary Catherine Santoro's presentation on women's education during the late-19th and early-20th centuries, when Katherine Marshall attended Hollins University to pursue an eclectic degree.
One of the most valuable resources on the personal and contextual history of Katherine Marshall’s life is Santoro’s piece, “First Lady of the Army: The Life and Times of Katherine Tupper Marshall.” Santoro’s work presents an informative, well-documented study not only of Katherine, but also on how her life compared and contrasted with that of other women in early- and mid-20th century. This proved to be an invaluable resource for our exhibit committee’s work on interpreting and presenting Katherine’s story through archival objects and informational panels.
Stay tuned for more "Grace & Grit" educational programs! #gcmic
