About Wolf Trap
The National Park for the Performing Arts
In 1966, Catherine Filene Shouse decided to donate 100 acres of her farm to the U.S. government, as well as funds to build a large outdoor amphitheater—now fondly known as the Filene Center.
Wolf Trap is operated by a public/private partnership in which the National Park Service and Wolf Trap Foundation, a nonprofit established in 1968, work together to provide performing arts and education experiences at Wolf Trap National Park.

About The Barns
After attending a concert in Maine held in a traditional barn, Wolf Trap founder Catherine Filene Shouse, was charmed by the informal and acoustically unique setting. She set out to replicate the experience at Wolf Trap. Mrs. Shouse began working with craftsmen and barns historians in 1980 to identify two barns for relocation to Virginia. After finding the barns in upstate New York, Mrs. Shouse purchased the buildings and paid to relocate and rebuild the structures on their present site in 1981 using an 18th-century “block and tackle” method of construction with gin poles, ropes, and manpower.
