One of the founders of the American Federation of the Arts in Washington, DC. Millet had even hosted the very first meetings in his home as the Federation began. So it was only logical that the Federation would host on May 10, 1912 a large memorial meeting which was attended by Art’s leaders, Politicians, Friends, Media leaders, and organization representatives. In addition to those attending, many messages of honor were sent from around the world to be included in the minutes of the memorial meeting. The record of that meeting is recorded here: Francis_Davis_Millet_Memorial_Meeting
In addition to the memorial meeting, a monument was authorized to honor Millet and Major Butt, the presidential aid to President Taft who was also returning with Millet to Washington. A subscription fund was set up for the monument and Daniel Chester French was selected to design the memorial, which ultimately took the shape of a fountain on what was then the south lawn of the White House. It stands today just across the street on the south of the present lawn of the White House.
There were many organizations and publications that published long articles, shorter memorial stories and held activities for more than a year following Millet’s death, a few are listed in the links below:
