The National First Ladies Library, non- profit partner to First Ladies NHS, completely restored the Saxton home in the late 1990’s making it one of the unique presidential homes preserved for the American People. The Saxton House became a National Pak Service Site in 2000, and both organizations work together to interpret the history of First Ladies today.
