This book provides a window into the broad scope of preservation work undertaken at Mount Vernon over the course of more than 160 years and places this work within the context of America's regional and national preservation efforts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt was at Mount Vernon, beginning with efforts in 1853, that the American tradition of historic preservation truly took hold. As the nation's oldest historic house museum, Mount Vernon offers a unique opportunity to chronicle preservation challenges and successes over time as well as to forecast those of the future. \u003ci\u003eStewards of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e features essays by senior scholars who helped define American historic preservation in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, including Carl R. Lounsbury, George W. McDaniel, and Carter L. Hudgins. Their contributions--complemented by those of Scott E. Casper, Lydia Mattice Brandt, and Mount Vernon's own preservation scholars--offer insights into the changing nature of the field. The multifaceted story told here will be invaluable to students of historic preservation, historic site professionals, specialists in the preservation field, and any reader with an interest in American historic preservation and Mount Vernon.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSupport provided by the David Bruce Smith Book Fund and the Fred W.
