Our Impact
Each year the Wilson House applies for (and is awarded) grants to support our mission. Our projects impact hundreds of students, teachers, researchers, and museum-goers of all ages.
Over the past decade, the Wilson House’s efforts have impacted more than 100,000 visitors to our website, and 10,000 visitors to our historic site, earning us a 4.8/5 rating from visitors. Each year, 10+ Wilson House Scholars work on meaningful projects shared with the wider community through Scholars in Action. We serve hundreds of DC-based teachers, as well as teachers following the National Standards for Civics & Government with our online lesson plans. This year over 75 Girl Scouts learned about civics, suffrage, and democracy. Urban explorers from all over the world visit our exhibitions and over 12,000 sets of eyes view our website each month!
