- **Event Description**: Building Bridges: An Evening with Ken Burns

As part of our year-long celebration of America at 250, Building Bridges honors the American spirit of meeting in the middle—with curiosity, courage, and care. Hosted by Board Chair Olivia Walton, the series brings together thought leaders, artists, and thinkers with differing perspectives to model civic dialogue and the power of meaningful questions.

From our home in Bentonville, Arkansas, we invite our neighbors—and the nation—to gather at our bridge: a place that connects what’s divided and carries us forward together.

The conversation features acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns as he shares his latest documentary, The American Revolution. In conversation with Olivia Walton, Burns will explore how America’s founding ideals continue to shape conversations about democracy and governance today.

At a time of deep political polarization, this program invites a renewed civic dialogue rooted in the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the enduring pursuit of a more perfect union. The evening will begin with a welcome from Jeffrey Rosen, CEO emeritus of the National Constitution Center, include brief clips from the documentary, and conclude with the conversation.

Tickets are $50 ($40 for members), reserve your spot online or with Guest Services at (479) 657-2335 today.
