“The menokin foundation mission: to conserve and interpret menokin, the home and grounds of francis lightfoot lee, by developing innovative scholarship and new practices in conservation. Nearly 250 years removed from the revolutionary ideas of america's forefathers, we are reclaiming the spirit of visionary thinking that marked the birth of our nation. The menokin foundation's plans are not to reconstruct menokin as a vestige of colonial history - not to follow the conventional route and create yet another "house museum." instead, we're pursuing something never before attempted in historic preservation circles. In particular, we are using structural glass to recreate an abstract memory of an 18th-century house as it once stood while protecting what remains of it today. This concept is revolutionary. By showcasing the intricate details of the house, our aim is to connect the past to the future in relevant, daring ways. With the glass house as the centerpiece, the surrounding grounds also will be transformed in future phases of the plan for menokin. Across all phases, innovative programming and educational opportunities will be included to ensure menokin has something valuable to offer people of all ages and from all walks of life - not just during one-time visits, but over and over again. Preservation and innovation, history and current events and issues, the building arts and the natural sciences - all will be part of the menokin experience.”
