Since 1916, the National Park Service has preserved unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of generations. GWWO has been proud to serve the NPS since 1990 and to play a part in telling many of our nation’s stories: the penning of our National Anthem; the brutal battles of the Civil War from Petersburg, to Monocacy, to Gettysburg; the heroism and selflessness of Harriet Tubman; the westward expansion spurred by the Homestead Act of 1862; the bravery of the sons and daughters that served in the Great War; and accounts associated with the presidencies of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and others. We’re grateful for the opportunity to preserve and protect these important spaces and places. John Gregg recalls “Recently, I was touring a few intern architects around the Fort McHenry Visitor Center and while standing off to the side, I noticed a group of elementary students watching the center’s film. At the film’s conclusion, with the National Anthem playing, the screen rises, and a view of the fort is revealed. Filled with excitement, the students jumped to their feet and ran to the window to see. What an awesome thing to witness…to know the impact that your project has on the next generation.”
