A former president has requested a long-term exhibit honoring George Washington, spanning from the present through the 300th anniversary of the founding father’s birth in 2032. The proposal also includes plans to display an 11-foot Washington statue—previously featured at a major motorsport event—in the museum’s Flag Hall by Constitution Day in September. The move aims to highlight Washington’s legacy ahead of key historical commemorations. Details on whether the institution will approve the display remain unclear.
Trump asked for an exhibit beginning now and continuing through Feb. 22, 2032, the 300th anniversary of Washington's birth. For Constitution Day on Sept. 17, Trump asked the institution to install the 11-foot statue of Washington featured at the recent Freedom 250 IndyCar race in the museum's Flag Hall.
