Pete Seat: ‘Pretty Damning’ that There Are No Exhibits Dedicated to the Founding Era at the National Museum

EXCERPT:

SEAT: “And that’s shame on all of us, that’s shame on our society, that’s shame on our schools, that’s shame on our museums that people didn’t know the importance of that day. And it relates to this because if you read the key findings of this report, it’s pretty damning. They claim that there is no major exhibit dedicated to our founding era, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, the Continental Congress, not to be found at the Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. They noted in this report that Independence Day was not marked either in 2025 or in 2026 at the museum, even though it was open. That’s just a couple of examples. So, if the National Museum of American History isn’t marking this occasion, isn’t hosting an exhibit about our founders and our founding document and the Declaration of Independence, how do we expect Americans to know the history?”
