American History TV presented live coverage from Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate the National Park Service centennial. President Woodrow Wilson signed legislation creating the National Park Service on August 25, 1916. Some 650,000 people walk the grounds and halls of Arlington House every year, making it the park service’s most visited historic home. Guests included Robert Stanton, a former National Park Service director, and Brandon Bies, a former Arlington House site manager. Mr. Bies was overseeing a year-long restoration of the mansion, slave quarters, and grounds that was funded by a $12.35 million gift from billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein. close
