A percentage of the proceeds from the wine purchased was donated to the foundation “to support its mission to preserve and enrich America’s national parks.” Burns’ iconic national park images are featured on the label of each wine bottle.
The exhibit debuted at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station. Exhibits followed at Sam Houston Memorial Museum, The Pearl Fincher Museum, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the LBJ Presidential Library, and the George W. Bush Presidential Library.
President George H.W. Bush has called Burns a “modern-day Ansel Adams.”
