TRUST FOR THE NATIONAL MALL
M AY 7, 2025
Featuring our History, Heroes & Hope Awards on the National Mall as we lead up to America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
WELCOME
TRUST FOR THE NATIONAL MALL
It’s an honor to gather with you on America’s Front Yard, the treasured space which has long stood as a powerful symbol of our nation’s resilience, unity and hope, as we look ahead to the U.S. Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary of America in 2026, when the National Mall will take center stage in telling the story of who we are and where we’re headed.
History, Heroes & Hope Awards, a tradition we began in 2015 to recognize leaders whose work reminds us of the enduring spirit that built this nation. We also reaffirm the mission we launched in 2007 to support the National Park Service in restoring, preserving and elevating the National Mall.
This evening marks a major milestone with the announcement of Our Monumental Moment: a historic initiative to meet this moment of national reflection and renewal. With 50 million visitors expected to visit Washington, D.C. during the Semiquincentennial, we are preparing the Mall to welcome the world. We’re excited to restore Constitution Gardens and the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence Memorial, which honors the bold thinkers who helped shape our country. We’re launching , a digital platform to bring students and visitors closer to civics and history. And there is so much more that we are excited to share tonight.
Your support and belief in what we’re doing is what makes it all possible. Together, we’re making sure the National Mall—our country’s most visited national park—continues to inspire, teach and bring people together for generations to come.
President
and CEO, Trust for the National Mall

Dear Friends of the NATIONAL PARK SERVICE & TRUST FOR THE NATIONAL MALL
On behalf of the National Park Service, thank you for your generous support of the National Mall—our nation’s civic stage and a place that holds deep meaning for millions of Americans. Through its iconic memorials, monuments, and open spaces, the Mall tells the ongoing story of our democracy, our struggles, and our shared ideals.
As we prepare to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026, we are reminded of the Mall’s powerful role in the American experience. This milestone invites us to reflect on the founding principles of our nation and how we uphold them today. It also challenges us to ensure that this cherished space remains vibrant, resilient, and welcoming to all.
That’s why your support matters. In partnership with the Trust for the National Mall, we are reimagining how visitors experience this iconic landscape—from preserving historic memorials and upgrading critical infrastructure to expanding educational opportunities and improving access.
Thank you for your commitment to this extraordinary place. Together, we are helping to shape the next chapter of America’s story—right here in the heart of its capital.
Sincerely,
KEVIN GRIESS Superintendent, National Mall and Memorial Parks, National Park Service

OUR MONUMENTAL MOMENT
INSPIRED BY THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE IN 2026, THE TRUST AND THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE HAVE AMBITIOUS PLANS TO ELEVATE THE NATIONAL MALL AND ITS HISTORIC PURPOSE FOR THIS MILESTONE CELEBRATION... AND GENERATIONS TO COME.
Restoring Constitution Gardens & the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence Memorial
A New Gift to the Nation Honoring Our Founding Fathers
Reimagining Sylvan Theater
Creating America's Center Stage for All
Built in haste for the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976, this site and its gardens and lake are not environmentally thriving, are costly to maintain and lack inviting space to gather. The centrally located space and memorial will be restored as a new gift to the nation in honor of America's 250th anniversary.
The Trust will transform this long-overlooked 36-acre garden and lake, restore the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence Memorial and create a vibrant destination telling the story of our nation and its founding fathers. The new Constitution Gardens will welcome visitors to gather, learn and be inspired on the National Mall.
This humble performance space beneath the Washington Monument is outdated, underutilized and no longer meets the needs of the community.
The Trust's visionary project will create a lively, modern, open-air performance space—a performing arts venue and state-of-the art facility and landscape for education, classroom learning and community gatherings.
Future Rendering
Future Rendering
Creating A Digital Platform to Bring History to Life
The National Mall Gateway Will Invite Visitors to Learn Civics and History
This new digital platform will activate America's greatest living history classroom to revolutionize the way visitors experience the iconic National Mall—both in person and virtually. The new platform will empower families, teachers and tourists to plan their visit and explore the National Mall’s historic purpose, allowing them to discover the civics, the history and the stories behind the memorials and monumental moments on the National Mall.
This innovative platform will offer educational resources and tools for educators, families and visitors; curated walking tours and tailored itineraries; 360-degree views of the memorials and National Mall Concierge—an AIassisted feature and educational content for classroom and homeschool learning.
Renewing Historic Lafayette Park
Elevating This Formal Park and its Iconic Fountains at the White House
This historic formal park, its marquee fountains, gardens and formerly elegant pathways are in disrepair and will be fully restored in time to welcome visitors for America's 250th anniversary in 2026.
The park's fountains have not flowed for nearly a decade and need to be restored to befit this historic park and its prominent location. This overlooked green space and its canopy of trees will be revitalized and renewed for all to enjoy. The new park will include fully restored and operational fountains, restored gardens, tree canopy and upgraded pathways and lighting for visitor safety and comfort.
