EP 295: As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we welcome John D. Morris, President & CEO of the Peoria Riverfront Museum, for a fascinating conversation about our nation's remarkable story.

John is a passionate student of American history—a true walking encyclopedia—and his enthusiasm is contagious. Together, we explore the courage of the Founding Fathers, the enduring significance of the Declaration of Independence, the leadership of George Washington, the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, and why Ronald Reagan continues to inspire millions.

You'll also discover the surprising connection between this week's historic America 250 celebration in Washington, D.C., and the Peoria Riverfront Museum, along with why preserving our nation's history matters now more than ever.

Whether you're a history buff or simply grateful for the freedoms we enjoy, this conversation will leave you with a deeper appreciation for America's past and renewed hope for its future.

Happy Independence Day, and thanks for celebrating America's 250th birthday with us!
