Dining Throughout History The dining experience at our annual celebration was designed as a reflective and immersive journey through America’s history, where each table becomes both a gathering place and a storytelling moment. Thirty-eight modern dining tables surround the central stage. With pivotal moments and movements pulled from America’s history, woven from 1620 to 2026, each table was topped with a custom printed clear and black vinyl overlay, artfully reminiscent to lithograph etchings. These printed tabletops, invited guests to dine within the narrative of the nation’s legacy. As most guests were unable to see each of these crafted stories, you can view them here. As our guests gathered, honoring our nation’s birth, we not only celebrated our shared heritage but also foster a deeper understanding of the complexities in our past, paving the way for a better future together.
