Good morning all, Today is the Smithsonian's 175th birthday! To celebrate this milestone the MoMS team put together the video at the end of this email from well wishes sent to us. Hope you enjoy it. If you have a few minutes this afternoon, please join us for a special Birthday virtual event at 3:00 EDT with Secretary Bunch. The pre-show begins at 2:40. Here's the link. https://www.si.edu/175. Let me also take this opportunity to say thank you for 27 years of partnership through the Museum on Main Street Program. I believe your hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment to doing meaningful work in rural America has made a difference in the lives of countless people across the country. We are grateful to you and are happy to be on this journey with you. With warm wishes, Carol and the MoMS team [https://www.si.edu/sites/default/files/styles/slides_horiz_wide/public/slideshow/175-birthday-billboard.png]<https://www.si.edu/175> The Smithsonian at 175 | Smithsonian Institution<https://www.si.edu/175> 2021 represents a significant chapter in the Smithsonian’s history—its 175th anniversary.
