American heroes may be honored in national sculpture garden
Teh article discusses an exclusive proclamation about a new bill set to be introduced to establish President Donald Trump’s National Garden of American Heroes, which aims to honor American founders and notable figures. Although Trump initially signed an executive order to create the garden during his presidency, it lacked funding, and President Joe Biden reversed the order after taking office. The new GOP House bill, led by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), seeks to fund the project through private donations and is expected to receive bipartisan support as part of the celebrations for America’s 250th birthday in july 2026. The legislation allows for individuals, living or deceased, to be honored in the garden and includes provisions for land exchange by the Secretary of the Interior. The proposal embodies a vision to celebrate America’s past contributions and heroes across various fields. Before becoming law, the bill must pass through both the House and Senate and receive the President’s signature.
American heroes, dead or alive, may be honored in national sculpture garden
EXCLUSIVE — A bill will be introduced Wednesday to establish President Donald Trump’s National Garden of American Heroes to honor American founders and trailblazers.
Trump penned an executive order during his first term to establish the garden, but the effort was not funded, and President Joe Biden reversed the order when he took office.
The GOP House bill is the latest push to get this effort across the finish line for America’s 250th birthday. The legislation is authored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) and he expects bipartisan support from the Congressional America250 Caucus, the group of lawmakers organizing celebrations for the semi-quincentennial in July 2026.
“The National Garden will be a beautiful site to honor our history and recognize prominent American founders and generations of trailblazers,” Mast wrote. “America’s past and present is filled with heroes from all walks of life, and this new garden will soon be open to the public to forever remember their contributions.”
The bill starts a fund to finance the site, ensuring it is made possible from private donations, allows the Secretary of Interior to exchange land and allows for anyone, living or dead, to be honored at the site. Mast pointed out to the Washington Examiner this allows Kid Rock to be “fair game.”

Trump’s 2021 executive order says the garden will “feature a roll call of heroes who deserve honor, recognition, and lasting tribute because of the battles they won, the ideas they championed, the diseases they cured, the lives they saved, the heights they achieved, and the hope they passed down to all of us — that united as one American people trusting in God, there is no challenge that cannot be overcome and no dream that is beyond our reach.”
According to the bill, no later than 60 days after the opening of the garden, the director must submit a report of maintenance of the garden to congressional committees. The legislation would need a vote in the House and the Senate before heading to Trump’s desk. The Washington Examiner reached out to Speaker Mike Johnson’s office on whether he backed the legislation.
