The Cornerstone Project
The Cornerstone Project is a transformative initiative designed to inspire individuals and families to explore their personal histories, expand educational opportunities, and enhance our headquarters through essential capital improvements.
This marks a historic milestone for our institution as we open our national center for family history, heritage & culture. At this new center, we will offer unparalleled learning experiences featuring the expertise of genealogists, historians, educators, curators, and museum professionals. By blending in-person engagement with cutting-edge virtual access, we will reach audiences around the globe through innovative digital platforms. These experiences foster a deeper sense of identity, a feeling of belonging, and an appreciation for the transformative power of family history.
