The 45-acre campus, 75 miles southwest of Washington, DC, has 90 miles of shelves where America’s film, audio, and television treasures can be stored, restored, and processed in multiple interconnected buildings, most of which are built underground and with one huge green roof are provided. The stocks are carefully maintained by a world-class group of specialists from Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, as you call it.
“It makes you proud that it is here,” the senator told the star exponent. “I think it’s a hidden gem. I wonder how many people outside of the immediate area know it’s here. … I’m a bit surprised that it took me so long (to get here). “
Gregory Lukow, the head of the center, greeted Warner at the same entrance, where, before the COVID struck, the public could enjoy free art deco-style movies at the Packard Campus Theater on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. On an earlier unfortunate visit to Culpeper, the Senator had only seen the theater just outside the entrance.
Lukow noted that the last time he saw Warner on Aug. 23, 2011, they met outdoors under the largest tree on campus after staff were evacuated when a 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Mineral, Virginia , met and tremors were felt in Culpeper, Richmond, Washington and beyond.
On another visit to Culpeper County for an agricultural event, Warner recalled, threatening storm clouds with a tornado threatened him and he was moved to safer ground.
