Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts

In 1966, Catherine Filene Shouse donated her farmland to the U.S. Government to create Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, a nature oasis near the nation’s capital where great artists and people of all ages would come out to play. Her legacy continues through the contributions of those who ensure its future. Shouse envisioned Wolf Trap as a place that reaches out for people, asking that they restore their spirits at its theatre, on its hillsides, in the woods, or by the stream, and that it could grow in scope and meaningfulness to the extent of imagination and support.
