In March 2025, General Douglas MacArthur’s iconic cap won the Virginia Association of Museums People’s Choice Award as an important artifact deserving conservation. Inspired by this designation, the General Douglas MacArthur Foundation, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting the MacArthur Memorial, launched a global fundraising campaign to preserve this iconic piece of history. Thanks to the incredible generosity of donors worldwide, conservation began in July 2025, and the cap returned to public display in August 2025. To discuss the conservation of this historic treasure, the MacArthur Memorial Podcast hosted Howard Sutcliffe, the cap's conservator and the principal conservator and director of River Region Costume and Textile Conservation.
