A group is raising funds to honor the environmental pioneer.
In February, released the first architectural sketches of its vision. The building that would house it is a 1936 water-pumping station that was built to look like a Colonial home. It has mostly been unused since 1962. The museum would feature a floor of exhibits about Carson’s life and work and another dedicated to local flora and fauna, as well as the history of Native Americans in the area.
The next step is to convince Montgomery Parks. Last summer, Springsong informally presented its idea and heard some concerns related to traffic flow, historic preservation, and—naturally—environmental impact. The group is working to address those issues and now will officially petition for redevelopment and use of the building. “I don’t think Parks will stand in the way,” says David Tobin, manager of public-private partnerships for Montgomery Parks.
But regardless of what happens, Henson hopes people will continue to discover and appreciate Carson: “We should be celebrating this incredible person whose spirit is in our midst.”
