Dynamic educational programming for all ages as we challenge ourselves and our visitors to celebrate the triumphs and confront the complexities of the past.  The Master Preservation Plan provides for improvements and growth as we strive to reach more people than ever before.

In order to do this, a number of limitations on capacity need to be addressed:

• Youth education programs currently take place in car bays of the 1914 Garage, without proper heating or cooling and with limited bathroom facilities.
• For adults, the administrative building (aka Dower House) small parlors and dining room provide little space and accommodate no more than a few dozen participants.
• The library in the historic house currently serves as a Visitor Center and gift shop
• Visitor orientation takes place in the Conservatory, which has no climate control.
• When visitors need facilities, the must use the fragile 1914 bathrooms, both interior and exterior, and there is limited-to-no space for storing backpacks, strollers, or other baggage.

To bring visitors closer to the story of the Peters as well as their own stories, the Master Preservation Plan seeks to:

1. Provide an Education Discovery Center to engage school-aged visitors in programs that advance essential skills: critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, innovation, collaboration and teamwork, literacy, and STEM.
2. Enhance web-based resources to bring innovative Tudor Place education content to teachers and students off-site, on demand, and around the world.
3. Adapt the 1867 Dower House Administration Building for education, meetings, and other uses by adding a hall capable of seating 75 people with state-of-the-art technology for seminars, lectures, workshops, and other programs.
4. Build a Gatehouse Visitor Center that will welcome visitors with accessible arrival and storage areas, modern facilities, and an interactive orientation exhibit that complements tour content.
5. Enhance the visitor experience with technology accessed on mobile devices and other platforms.
