The National Park Service will once again host the annual celebration of Independence Day on the National Mall, the nation’s most important civic space and home to more than a dozen memorials that commemorate great Americans and significant events in the nation’s history.
A nearly $113 million contract has been awarded for work to rehabilitate the failing seawalls around a portion of the Tidal Basin and along the Potomac River through West Potomac Park in Washington, D.C.
"This is where the nation comes to remember and where history is made. As “America’s Front Yard,” the National Mall and Memorial Parks is home to many of our country’s most iconic memorials telling the story of people and events that shaped us as a nation. Each year, millions of people come to recreate, commemorate presidential legacies, honor our veterans, and make their voices heard."
