Dear Fellow Americans and Foreign Visitors to Our National Mall:
This is an exciting time in our country as we prepare for the big celebration next year of the 250th birthday of the United States of America.
Happily, the National Mall in the heart of our capital – home to our Smithsonian national museums, iconic monuments to founding ideals and leaders, and majestic public open space – will be a centerpiece of a host of ceremonies and public events. It will truly live up to its role as Stage for American Democracy.
The National Mall Coalition is planning our own efforts to contribute to the effort in Washington, DC. Do you have any ideas for how we could supplement planning already underway by others?
We hope to see many of you next year when the Mall comes alive with renewed attention to the ideals that founded and have nourished our country for 250 years.
Take a look at these organization planning events for the Mall:
