Outside the Kreeger Museum facing the front entrance

This art museum is the former private home and collection of David and Carmen Kreeger. David Lloyd Kreeger served in various roles at GEICO, including president and CEO, from 1948 until his retirement in 1974. Fun fact: GEICO stands for the Government Employees Insurance Company. It was founded as a private insurance company by a former employee of USAA, who recognized that government employees were a low-risk (and thus profitable) pool of insurance customers.
