August 10, 1846 Smithsonian Institution was created

August 10, 1846, The Smithsonian Institution was created.
In 1829, James Smithson died in Italy, leaving behind a will with a peculiar footnote. In the event that his only nephew died without any heirs, Smithson decreed that the whole of his estate would go to "the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an Establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge." Smithson's bequest to a country he had never visited aroused significant attention on both sides of the Atlantic. Six years after his death, his nephew, Henry James Hungerford, died without children, and on July 1, 1836, the U.S. Congress authorized acceptance of Smithson's gift. President Andrew Jackson sent diplomat Richard Rush to England to negotiate for transfer of the funds, and two years later Rush set sail for home with 11 boxes containing a total of 104,960 gold sovereigns, as well as Smithson's mineral collection, library, scientific notes, and personal effects. After considering a series of recommendations, Congress agreed that the bequest would support the creation of a museum, a library, and a program of research, publication, and collection in the sciences, arts, and history. On August 10, 1846, the act establishing the Smithsonian Institution was signed into law by President James K. Polk.
Today, the Smithsonian is composed of several museums and galleries including the National Air and Space Museum, which has the distinction of being the most visited museum in the world!
Just as the Smithsonian Institution is one of many interesting places to visit in Washington D.C. The Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast is certainly an interesting place to visit in Central Pennsylvania!
