Expo "Down to Earth - Geological Maps" . - A small but interesting expo is included showing 18th - 20 century Geological maps.
Geologic maps represent the distribution of different types of rock and surficial deposits, as well as locations of geologic structures such as faults and folds. Geologic maps are the primary source of information for various aspects of land-use planning, including the siting of buildings and transportation systems.
The world’s oldest geological map ever found was drawn around 1150 BC to document an expedition by a pharaoh to retrieve building stone in Egypt.
It is considered that the first attempt to make a geological map was proposed by Jean-Étienne Guettard in his book “Mémoire et carte minéralogique sur la nature et la situation des terrains qui traversent la France et l'Angleterre” (A mineralogical survey and map of the type and location of terrain underlying France & England) in 1746. It was not until the 19th century that the first major advances occurred with a sketch of a geological map of the Paris basin on a scale of 1:800,000 made by Jean-Baptiste Julien d'Omalius d'Halloy in 1816.

The property has an illustrious past as host to royalty, politicians and visiting heads of state along with important historical figures such as Charles Lindbergh and Gustave Eiffel. The Hotel Ambassador stands nearly on top of the site of the Hotel Tetebout where Thomas Jefferson, his daughter, Martha, and his slave,
