As the nation prepares to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Discovery Park of America invites you to be part of a once-in-a-generation celebration.

This project is funded in part by a Tennessee America 250 Grant from the Tennessee Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial. Through this statewide initiative, Tennessee communities are working together to honor the state’s role in shaping the nation’s history and future.

Through special exhibits, performances and community programming, Discovery Park will highlight the people, stories and spirit that have defined our state and our country. This yearlong celebration is part of America250, a national initiative recognizing 250 years of independence and progress. Discovery Park’s programming reflects Tennessee’s theme — “The Original Frontier” — and showcases our state’s deep roots in faith, innovation, agriculture and the arts.

Special Exhibition
