National Park Foundation (Freedom 250)

America250.org Inc received this grant which was transferred to the National Park Foundation in December 2025. Freedom 250, a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Park Foundation, will create six mobile exhibits that tell the story of America’s founding, sending them across the country throughout 2026. The project represents a key contribution to the 250th anniversary celebrations of our nation and responds to the January 29, 2025 Presidential Executive Order “Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday.” The mobile exhibits will educate Americans about the key people, places, and events that gave birth to American independence, stopping at local libraries, school libraries, national parks, and community events. Recognizing that 64 percent of Americans cannot pass the citizenship test, the mobile exhibits will make American history more accessible to students and adults. Adapted from the VA250 Mobile Museum Experience, these “Freedom Trucks” will bring history to life with inspiring, factual, and engaging content, including digital and interactive material. Based in concept on the Freedom Train, one of the most memorable and educational aspects of the bicentennial, they are poised to become the largest traveling exhibit on America's founding.
