Senator Marshall Launches America 250 Resource Page for Kansans

Washington – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas) today announced the launch of a new America 250 resource page on his official Senate website, giving Kansans a one-stop guide to the historic events and patriotic celebrations planned in Washington, D.C., as the United States marks 250 years of independence. “America’s 250th birthday is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and I want every Kansan to be able to experience it,” said Senator Marshall. “Whether you’re planning a family trip to the National Mall on July 4th or just want to take in a Smithsonian exhibit, this page is your guide to making the most of this incredible milestone in our nation’s history.” The page, www.marshall.senate.gov/services/america-250/ , covers major celebrations including the Salute to America fireworks over the National Mall on July 4th, the Great American State Fair running June 25 through July 11, and the National Gallery Block Party on June 6-7. It also highlights Smithsonian exhibitions open now, Library of Congress programming, and historic site events at locations like Mount Vernon and the National Archives, which will feature George Washington’s copy of the Constitution and William Stone’s 1823 Declaration of Independence. Kansans planning a trip to the nation’s capital are encouraged to contact Senator Marshall’s office for assistance with Capitol tours, flag requests, and other constituent services at marshall.senate.gov. ### Contact: Payton Fuller
