The National Cathedral - A Docent's Report

Newberry Cultural Series

"Bob" Magner has spent almost 10 years docenting at the National Cathedral. Join him for a virtual tour and find out about its history, art and secrets in addition to the types of tours available and their focuses. While the foundation stone was laid in 1907, the concept for a national church was included in L'Enfant's plan for the capital in 1791. Featuring stunning architecure and a prominant place in the city's skyline, the Washington National Cathedral was conceived to serve as a great church for national purposes. Today, and throughout its history, it has served as a gathering place for our country during moments of national significance.

A retired CIA officer, Mr. Magner served in Asia and the Middle East as well as in senior assignments in Washington. In retirement, he has worked as a consultant and, in addition to being a docent at the National Cathedral, volunteers at the Freer Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Library of Congress and DACOR.
