President Trump announcing the garden during South Dakota's Mount Rushmore Fireworks Celebration on July 3, 2020.

The National Garden of American Heroes is a proposed monument to "great figures of America’s history", planned through executive order by President Donald Trump.[1][2] The garden, along with a Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes, was announced on July 3, 2020 at the Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore in Keystone, South Dakota.[3][4][5] In his speech, Trump described the proposed monument as "a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the greatest Americans to ever live." The garden is slated to include statues of notable Founding Fathers, activists, political figures, businesspeople, and pop culture icons.[6][5][7][8]

Development

The development of the proposed garden will be managed by the Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes, which will allocate funding from the United States Department of the Interior to establish the site. Members of the task force will include chairs of the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities, Administrator of the General Services Administration, chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and any additional "officers or employees of any executive department or agency" designated by the president.[9]

President Trump described the garden as a response to the practice of removing monuments and memorials to historical figures, a practice which was ongoing in 2020 as part of a response to the George Floyd protests.[4][9]

After the executive order was signed on July 3, 2020, the task force was granted 60 days to develop preliminary plans for the site, including a potential location.[10] The executive order also states that the garden should open before July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.[9]

Proposed statues

The executive order listed 31 historical figures as examples of those who would receive a statue in the Garden.[2] On January 18, 2021, Trump signed a new executive order listing 244 historical figures, including all 31 previously named, of those who will receive statues.[11][12][13][14]
