Archer and his wife, sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington, acquired 800 acres of land that would come to hold 61,000 square feet of exhibition galleries, a research library, a 167-acre lake, a five-mile shoreline trail with fourteen bridges, and over 35,000 maritime artifacts from around the globe. After acquisition took place, the first two years were devoted to creating and improving a natural park and constructing a dam to create Lake Maury, named after the nineteenth-century Virginia oceanographer Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury.
