America's Field Trip is a nationwide student contest sponsored by America250, the official nonpartisan entity charged by Congress with planning the nation's Semiquincentennial in 2026, also known as the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. America's Field Trip invites students in grades 3–12 to be part of this historic milestone by sharing their perspectives on what America means to them — with the chance to earn a once-in-a-lifetime field trip experience at an iconic American landmark or cultural site, including the Smithsonian's National Zoo, National Archives Museum, Kennedy Space Center, and Yellowstone National Park — just to name a few.

Saturday marks second annual National First Ladies Day as organizers seek making the recognition a permanent federal holiday.
Scattered across the country, a little-known contingent of influential people are working diligently behind the scenes to help give America’s first ladies the recognition they say is long overdue.
They are the descendants of first ladies, the Canton-Ohio based National First Ladies Library & Museum, historians, and community builders that make up the National First Ladies Day Commission (NFLDC), created in 2021. And, they are on a mission to help establish a federal holiday—National First Ladies Day.
