Before we can build the future we must imagine it.

Join the Heurich House Museum on Thursday, June 26th from 5-7pm during Civic Season for a collaborative community art experience: “On Our 250th” Wish Wall for America.

“On Our 250th” is a collaborative collection of birthday wishes by citizens for the United States as we celebrate 250 years as a nation and democracy. Write your hope, vision, or dream for the nation on a ribbon and tie it to our outdoor Wish Wall—an evolving colorful tapestry installation on the historic ironwork along Sunderland Place. The installation aims to transform individual voices into a collective expression of civic spirit and imagination.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History will kick off Civic Season with a 28-foot mural that invites visitors to add their wish to a time capsule that will be opened in 2075. Check out participating museums and historic sites across the country by contributing to their Wish Wall!

Free, RSVP Requested

The Biergarten will be open from 4-8pm, enjoy a local craft beverage before or after participating in the Wish Wall!

What is Civic Season?

July 4th commemorates the moment a new nation was born, based on ideals that each generation since has worked to bring to life: freedom, equality, justice, and opportunity. Juneteenth, celebrated just a few weeks earlier, reminds us of the struggles and hard-won victories in our ongoing journey to form a “more perfect union.” Civic Season unites our oldest federal holiday with our newest, mobilizing a movement to understand our past and shape our future. The Heurich House is one of multiple sites across the nation participating in Civic Season from Juneteenth to July 4th.
