Dreamers and Believers: Cathedral Builders

Dreamers & Believers celebrates the centennial of the laying the Cathedral’s foundation stone in 1907, as part of its centennial festivities.
This exhibit tells a story about people who strove to create a majestic center of worship in the nation’s capital: the visionaries who dreamed of a magnificent church, the architects who planned, the volunteers who gave their talent and money, the workers who labored to build and the artisans who created beautiful embellishments.
Spanning nearly a century of planning and construction, the exhibit tells this dramatic story through historic photographs, artifacts, and film.
