Memorial plan honors Francis Scott Key in Georgetown house
A national effort seeks to turn the Key house in old Georgetown into a memorial museum honoring Francis Scott Key. Backers note the plan follows precedents like Mount Vernon and Monticello, with ten cent subscriptions funding the restoration and a signed autograph painting given to major contributors. The project includes rehabilitating the neighbor shed used as Key’s law office and restoring located law books to their places.
