It took a few tries to make it happen, but Sen. Mark Warner visited one of the wonders of the Western world late last week: the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center of the Library of Congressâaka, its Packard Campus in Culpeper County.
Virginiaâs senior U.S. senator toured the 415,000-square-foot complex, guardian of countless American cultural treasures, for nearly an hour.
Just minutes into his whirlwind tour, Warner responded with a big âwow!â when told that philanthropist David Woodley Packardâs donation of the custom-built facility stands as historyâs second-biggest private gift to the federal government, after the Smithsonian Institution. (It is also the largest-ever private gift to the U.S. legislative branch.)
