“The Semiquincentennial is an incredibly exciting opportunity to reflect on our nation's journey, and the National Mall stands at the absolute center of this historic celebration. As America’s Front Yard, it serves as the physical embodiment of our civic life and a living monument to our shared history.”

This June, the Trust for the National Mall and the National Park Service kicked off a new “Mall Hands on Deck” project with volunteers from donated supplies from The Home Depot Foundation and volunteers from Team Depot carrying out major repairs to four sites on the National Mall.
