She and the Wilson House team are dedicated to ensuring that the Wilson House is a place for open dialogue and discussion of important historical issues that are relevant today. In addition to telling the many stories derived from the more than 6,000-piece collection of this National Historic Landmark and model historic and presidential site, Elizabeth’s goal for the house and garden is live and breathe the site’s moto: Historic perspectives; Modern initiatives.
