Episode notes
The journey of a lifetime begins now. Join Bob and Kelli for a special USA250 Tour compilation show, a high-energy kickoff celebrating 250 years of the American spirit. We are tracing the American story back to its very foundations and forward to the moment that changed the world.
In this special presentation, we preview what to expect as we travel the nation, featuring:
- The Concord Museum: Step into 1775 to see the "objects that witnessed" the Shot Heard 'Round the World. We get up close with the Paul Revere lantern and the artifacts of the first Minutemen.
- Poverty Point World Heritage Site: We start 3,000 years ago at "North America’s First City" in Louisiana. Discover the ancient indigenous ingenuity that serves as the prologue to our continental history.
- The USA250 Roadmap: A look ahead at the monuments, hidden gems, and local stories we’ll be uncovering on the road to America’s 250th anniversary.
- A Historic Reading: Experience a powerful, moving reading of the Declaration of Independence, the document that defined a new vision for humanity.
From ancient mounds to the birth of liberty, this is more than a tour—it’s the story of us. Subscribe and follow along as we bring America’s history to life one artifact and one mile at a time.
