Located in Virginia, Wolf Trap combines cultural and natural resources for the community and nation to enjoy, including concerts.
Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts began as a gift to the American people from Catherine Filene Shouse. Encroaching roads and suburbs inspired Mrs. Shouse to preserve this former farm as a park. In 1966 Congress accepted Mrs. Shouse's gift and authorized Wolf Trap Farm Park (its original name).
In partnership with the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation supports a public humanities fellowship program for postdocs, thanks to the generous funding of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
