The New York Times highlighted the tent's installation and conservation in a recent article. An excerpt from the piece highlights the tent's importance, "Having any George Washington artifact is important and having one as tangible as this tent is quite extraordinary," said David N. Redden, a former vice chairman of Sotheby's, who in 2006 sold a Revolutionary War battle flag for $12.33 million, still a record price. He declined to value the tent, but added, "I can't think of any other Revolutionary War tents that survive."
