In a new exhibition at The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum, visitors can share their wishes for the United States on its 250th birthday. "Revolutionary Echoes in Washington," which opens April 11, 2026, reveals how the Declaration of Independence and its ideas lived on in the nation's capital, from the streets people walked on to the causes they championed. Covering the city's history through 1876 (the nation's first centennial), the exhibition concludes by encouraging guests to reflect on this year's significant milestone and share their "wish for U.S." in 10, 50, or 100 years.
