At the opening of the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum on September 15, 1967, Uncle Beazley was placed in the parking lot adjoining the Carver Theater, the site of the first Anacostia Museum, now known as the Anacostia Community Museum. Uncle Beazley was later moved to the Mall in front of the National Museum of Natural History and then in 1994 to the Rhino Yard near the Elephant House at the National Zoological Park.
