The Monument has significance under Criteria A and D for its association with historic preservation efforts, which included early and innovative archaeological investigations at the site, as well as its likelihood to reveal important additional archaeological information of the Middle to Late Woodland period, thus providing an important record of evolving settlement and plantation life. The Monuments grounds and structures contribute an important role in the birth and boyhood of our nations first President, George Washington, and his family, establishing the sites significance under Criteria B. The sites significance under Criteria C is best exemplified in the work done by architect Edward Donn Jr. and landscape architect Charles Peterson, as well as some of the earliest evidence of post-in-hole construction of the Henry Brook Site.
This house, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, has served as a social gathering place for the community and Park visitors since its construction in 1932.
