What We Do

---

Sulgrave Manor Trust is an independent charity with 2 legal objectives

• To preserve Sulgrave Manor (the ancestral home of the family of George Washington, the first president of the United States of America) for the public benefit. 
• To provide and support education in subject areas relevant to Sulgrave Manor and its historic role in the history of anglo-american relations, and to the history, literature and institutions of the United States. 

At Sulgrave Manor Trust we see the Special Relationship as a great example of collaboration, of challenging perceptions about each other, and of working together to overcome differences. It lies at the heart of everything we do and the experiences we offer.  Our current programme of activity offers strands for a wide range of audiences.

Open for groups and day visitors to explore the Manor, garden and exhibitions.

Family fun days and school holiday activities using our site and collections to encourage multi-generational groups to collaborate and get creative using our collections and site as a basis for learning together.

Free digital seminars in conjunction with academic partners from the UK and USA for the public, Further and Higher Education students.

Internship placements, including with Oxford University’s Crankstart programme offering work experience and employability skills building for the most financially challenged students.

Partnership working with partner organisations to deliver projects designed for mutual benefit.
