America turns 250 — and the celebration is already underway. In this episode of Transportation Nation, we break down Freedom 250, the year-long nationwide commemoration leading up to July 4th, 2026.

Here's what we cover:

• The American Stories Exhibition at the National Archives, featuring a rare 1823 stone engraving of the Declaration of Independence

• Major events: the Great American State Fair on the National Mall, July 4th celebrations in D.C., and the Freedom 250 Grand Prix (with infrastructure built out by Bennett)
