He takes us back to the Fourth of July 1776, before the house was built, joins President George Washington on the grounds of the newly built house, helps President Donald J. Trump raise the flag on the lawn, and leads us through the halls and State Rooms before taking a side trip to the twenty-first century People's House: A White House Experience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Today the White House itself is like a time capsule of American history!\" says Rocco while looking at the fine art collection in the White House. \"It holds interesting things that belonged to every president and remind us of how America has grown and changed.\" As he leads the tour, Rocco reminds us that memories of both good and bad times in American History can be found in the White House. He stops by the Lincoln Bedroom where a copy of the Gettysburg Address is displayed and explains that Lincoln's speech reminds us that the Declaration of Independence says that everyone is equal and that a government in which the people rule themselves must endure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn one of many happy moments recalled by Rocco, he visits the Oval Office where President Richard M.

The forty-sixth in the series, the 2026 ornament fittingly pictures a facsimile of the original Declaration of Independence now preserved in the National Archives. The ornament, destined to hang on perhaps a million or more Christmas trees in the United States and abroad for years to come, is in keeping with the intention of the Second Continental Congress, which, immediately following the formal signing of the document, ordered that it be reproduced, read publicly, and distributed widely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharlotte Seale takes us back to the eighteenth century and shares the reaction of a “stranger in America” to one of the earliest Independence Day celebrations. She explains that Charles Janson, an Englishman who happened to arrive in Boston in 1793 on the eve of the nation’s seventeenth anniversary, had hoped to avoid the public festivities but instead witnessed flags flying, guns firing, drums beating, and a military parade. Janson’s 1807 book would ultimately preserve not only this scene but would present the first known published image of the President’s House.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistorian Alan Capps takes us into the nineteenth century to July 4, 1826, the nation’s fiftieth anniversary. The date was consequential not only for marking a half century of independence but also for the deaths of two Signers of the Declaration, second President John Adams and third President Thomas Jefferson—an astonishing coincidence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJennifer Wojeck reminds us that the nation would never forget the significance of not only July 4, 1776, but also of other milestone dates such as April 30, 1789. She takes us to New York City on the Centennial of George Washington’s first Oath of Office, following President Benjamin Harrison as he traces Washington’s steps to Federal Hall in a days-long celebration filled with naval reviews, balls, parades, a worship service, and speeches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJournalist Ann Compton brings the narrative into the twentieth century, sharing her own memories of traveling with President Gerald R. Ford on July 4, 1976, the nation’s two hundredth birthday. It was a day, Compton explains, that America was ready to celebrate its success story. Compton witnessed Ford complete an ambitious seven-page itinerary, which began with prayer at St. John’s Church and continued with events in Valley Forge, Philadelphia, and New York Harbor, before culminating with a viewing of fireworks from the Truman Balcony. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first-person accounts continue with memories of two White House Bicentennials. Former White House Chief Usher Gary Walters details events hosted by President and Mrs. George H. W. Bush in 1992 when the bicentennial of the White House cornerstone was memorialized with the installation of a time capsule on the South Grounds. Then artist Jamie Wyeth shares his experience on the South Grounds in 2000, when he was cleared in at 5:00 a.m. to make preparatory sketches for his painting, Dawn, The White House, 2000. Wyeth had been commissioned by the White House Historical Association to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of life in the White House, which began on November 1, 1800, when President John Adams took up residence. With this special account of how he created his painting, Wyeth publishes his preparatory sketches for the first time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoel Kemelhor takes us out to sea to explore the U.S. Navy’s traditions for celebrating national anniversaries and the role played by carriers named for presidents. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor our Presidential Sites Feature, James H. Johnston takes us to his hometown, Independence, Missouri. Founded in 1827 and named for the Declaration of Independence, Independence is described by Johnston as the “quintessential American small town.” He remembers growing up there at the time when President Harry S. Truman was a neighbor and sitings of the president were both commonplace and unforgettable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith his \"Reflections\" column, Stewart D. McLaurin, the Association's president, closes the issue observing, \"The White House, as 'the people’s house,' has served as a profound stage upon which so much of American history has been decided, directed, and determined—from declarations of war and peace to joyous commemorations that unite the nation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White House Historical Association","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47518602985524,"sku":"003042","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/4207\/3140\/files\/WHHQ80_Shop.png?v=1771601431"},{"product_id":"official-commemorative-ornament-of-america-s-250th-anniversary-10-display-wall-hanging","title":"Official Commemorative Ornament of America’s 250th Anniversary 10\" Display Wall Hanging","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eCommemorate America's historic 250th anniversary with this distinguished Official Commemorative ornament 10\" wall hanging display piece, designed by the White House Historical Association and licensed by the America250 organization.
