Join us online for a new collaboration between the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center and United States Botanic Garden.
Explore the road leading up to America's 1876 Centennial Expo in Philadelphia, the grandeur and excitement of the many creations on display, and the legacy that continues to today.
We'll share the parallel story of Frederic Auguste Bartholdi as he created the Bartholdi Fountain for the 1876 Expo that stands in the United States Botanic Garden today, his famous Statue of Liberty, and more. Learn about the Capitol Visitor Center's Spirit of '76 special exhibit and the heritage of the Bartholdi Fountain at the United States Botanic Garden in this lively exploration of the events surrounding America's 100th anniversary celebrations and how they live on today.
