Why museums might be our best hope for civil dialogue. In this episode, Samantha sits down with Robin Von Seldeneck, President & CEO of the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum in Staunton, Virginia. They trace Robin’s journey from a childhood on a dairy farm and early love of gardening to leading one of the region’s most important civic institutions. Robin shares how museums are evolving from object‑focused “shrines” into trusted public spaces for difficult conversations—especially around Woodrow Wilson’s deeply complicated legacy on race, power, and democracy. Together, they explore what it means for a small city to steward a U.S. president’s story while inviting visitors to ask “why” and form their own conclusions.
