The Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts Cultural Landscape Report provides an overview of the site's history and an evaluation and analysis of existing site conditions, including treatment recommendations. This CLR concludes that Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts is potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for its significance as a nationally celebrated performing arts venue. It is also potentially eligible under Criterion B for its association with a potentially significant person, Catherine Filene Shouse, as the place most closely associated with her contributions to American history. The recommended period of significance for Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts begins in 1930, when Catherine Filene Shouse purchased her first 53 acres in Fairfax County, and ends in 1984, with the completion of the rebuilding of the Filene Center II and the reopening of the venue. The cultural landscape retains integrity of location, design, feeling, workmanship, materials, and association. This cultural landscape report applies an overall treatment approach of rehabilitation to the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts Cultural Landscape. This approach adheres to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Cultural Landscapes and supports enhancing visitor and artist experience of the performing arts and recreational opportunities at the park while preserving the pastoral character of the landscape and interpreting the site’s historical significance.
