John Work Garrett II (1872-1942) is best remembered today as a diplomat and book collector, who was a product of the privileged East Coast milieu in which he was raised. But in addition to his boyhood summers at Evergreen, his teenage travels in Europe and the Far East, and his university years at Princeton, Garrett’s character and imagination were formed by numerous excursions into the American West. Leave No Trace: John Work Garrett in the American Outdoors examines these formative experiences through archival photography, diary entries, artifacts, sculptures, and more, asking visitors to consider the idea of the American West from multiple perspectives and reflect on their own relationship to the great outdoors.
