Current owner/part-time resident Heather French Henry (Miss America 2000) spearheaded the creation of the museum which amasses a large amount of memorabilia from Clooney's film, television and recording career. A re-creation of her red and white gown from "White Christmas" was painstakingly assembled by Henry and her mother by watching the film frame by frame (the original dress is M.I.A.) Some of her other original costumes are on display at the museum. The opening ceremony was attended by Nick Clooney, Rick Dees and Dante DiPaolo among others while her recording of "Bless This House" was played.
