George C Marshall International Center

The George C. Marshall International Center is named for nobel peace prize laureate George C. Marshall, who served as chief of staff of the army, secretary of state, secretary of defense and president of the american red cross. He was a principled, selfless leader who serves as a timeless example for others to follow. His early experiences advising general john j. pershing in world war i, his leadership of the global military alliance that defeated fascism in world war ii, and his vision to support peacetime investments in europe via the Marshall plan made general Marshall a key leader in the pivotal moments of the 20th century. The Marshall Center is dedicated to translating his ideal of service to country to inspire the leaders of today and tomorrow. The George C. Marshall International Center (continued on schedule o) operates dodona manor as a historic house museum at 312 east market street in leesburg, Virginia. The house is home to the Marshall Center, as it was home to George and katherine Marshall from 1941 to 1959. We conduct tours and events at dodona manor, general George Marshall's home, that provide a full picture of the statesman and soldier who shaped many of the major events of the 20th century. We also host educational programs that reflect Marshall's principled approach to leadership.
