The National Garden for America's 250th Anniversary Act authorizes the White House Task Force on Celebrating America's 250th Birthday to establish the National Garden of American Heroes, a statuary park honoring American heroes ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026. The bill requires construction to begin by July 4, 2026, and allows the garden to be located in the National Mall or on federally acquired land, with the Secretary of the Interior approving the final location. Funding comes through a National Garden Fund supported by private contributions, with money invested in Treasury bonds to generate interest; the National Park Service will maintain the garden once operational and may charge visitor fees if needed. The Task Force must submit progress reports to Congress every 60 days during construction, and the National Park Service must provide ongoing maintenance reports after the garden opens, including information on staffing, operations, visitor numbers, and security.
