Teach 250: From the Ballpark to the Classroom: Exploring American History Through Baseball with the Washington Nationals

Baseball isn’t just a game—it’s a cornerstone of American culture. Join the Washington Nationals and the Trust for the National Mall for a webinar exploring how America’s pastime can serve as a lens for understanding U.S. history and civic life. Discover how both Washington, D.C.’s home team and the sport itself can spark meaningful educational conversations about the events and stories that shaped our country. Participants will leave with fascinating insights into baseball’s evolution, a deeper connection to the Washington Nationals Baseball Club, and classroom ready resources on the National Mall Gateway.  

Educators are invited to join the Trust for the National Mall, National Park Service and Destination DC for the next installment of this year's series of Teach 250: Inspiring a More Perfect Union. Leading up to the historic 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026, this teacher workshop series is designed to help prepare educators for the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by exploring ways to celebrate, honor, commemorate, and dive deep into America's 250 years of history.
