On June 14, 2023, the Trust for the National Mall and the National Park Service unveiled the new U.S. Park Park Police Horse Stables and Wells Fargo Education Center on the National Mall. The Trust led this transformational project to replace and upgrade the original horse stables built in the 1970’s and to create the new Education Center in partnership with the National Park Service and the United States Park Police Mounted Unit. The complete facility was designed and built by the Trust for the National Mall and was supported entirely by private philanthropy, thanks to its generous supporters including Wells Fargo and Campaign Chair Sheila Johnson.
The opening of the new horse stables and education center marks the completion of the Trust’s largest and most significant project to date—built in partnership with the National Park Service. The project also represents the first milestone in a series of projects planned by the Trust and the National Park Service to prepare the National Mall for the semiquincentennial – the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026 where the National Mall will play center stage. Sign up here to follow our exciting plans for 2026.
