  • The Royal Visit: “Two Burning, Boiling, Sweltering, Humid Furnace-Like Days in Washington”
    The Royal Visit: “Two burning, boiling, sweltering, humid furnace-like days in Washington” For two days in June of 1939, the city of Washington, D.C. played host to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain. The royal visit was a significant occasion as it was the first time1 that a reigning British monarch set foot in the United States, a country comprised of former colonies that had successfully rebelled against both British rule and monarchy two centuries earlier. The arrival of the King and Queen in Canada in late May 1939 had earlier marked the first time that a British monarch had even been in North America. The visit had been the idea of John Buchanan, Governor General of Canada, and MacKenzie King, Canadian Prime Minister. The Prime Minister was in London for the Coronation in May of 1937 and took the opportunity to make an invitation to His Majesty for a Canadian tour. Prime Minister King also alerted President Franklin Roosevelt of his proposal for a royal visit. The President then instructed American diplomat James Gerard, his special envoy at the coronation, to extend an invitation to the King to visit the United States during the same trip.2 The King eagerly accepted both invitations. The American portion of the trip would include visits to Washington, D.C.; the campus of the 1939 World’s Fair in Queens, New York; and the Roosevelt estate in Hyde Park, New York. Dinners with President and Mrs. Roosevelt, a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, and a driving tour of Washington were all announced in local papers as parts of the couple’s itinerary.3 However, there was an underlying reason for the visit.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register.
