In 1850, the Mason's purchased Woodlawn Plantation, the former home of George Washington's adopted daughter Nellie Custis and her descendants. Otis Mason gave a portion of the property in 1872 to establish the Woodlawn Baptist Church. He first became affiliated with the United States National Museum in 1872, working as a collaborator in ethnology. This in 1884 turned into a full-time position as curator. The Smithsonian had recently built its first purpose-built museum building, the U.S. National Museum building (or Arts and Industries Building). Mason worked closely with George Brown Goode in the installation and reorganization of the museum collections that came with the move into that new building.
