The National Museum of American History houses some of the Smithsonian’s best-known treasures including:
  • the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired the words for the National Anthem;
  • entertainment icons such as Judy Garland’s ruby slippers from "The Wizard of Oz";
  • the wooden lap desk used by Thomas Jefferson as he wrote the Declaration of Independence;
  • a baseball autographed by Babe Ruth, judged by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time;
  • the Woolworth lunch counter that was the site of the 1960 student sit-in in Greensboro, N.C.;
  • the hat worn by President Lincoln on the night he was assassinated; and
  • extensive collections from jazz greats Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald.

Each year millions of schoolchildren visit our museum and benefit from our curriculum materials. Our traveling exhibits, affiliate partnerships and educational courses bring the museum to communities across the U.S.

The National Museum of American History is America at its best. We depend on private support to keep it that way.
