The Medal of Honor Grove is closed to all pedestrians, staff, and visitors until further notice due to icy, unsafe conditions. Staff will reopen the Grove as soon as conditions allow, and we will announce the reopening on both our social media pages and our website.

Happy #PresidentsDay! We’re honoring all those who have served as U.S. President while simultaneously concluding our four-day Republic to Ruin: Shakespeare and Rome teacher seminar. More seminars are still open: foundingforward.org/teachers/semin…

Final morning of @foundingforward teacher workshop on Lincoln and spent at the Union League House on Philly examining artwork with Jordan Sokol, the artist of Frederick Douglass painting. Great insight behind the art. Best teacher workshops are done by @foundingforward

I spent my Friday night learning from a Frederick Douglass interpreter. Thank you @FoundingForward! #HistoryMatters #teacherlife #foundingforward

We remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a pivotal American civil rights leader, who once shared these remarks on the purpose of education: “We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.”

The Founding Forward team enjoyed participating in the @America250_PA kick-off events in Philly, Chesco, and Montco today! We are thrilled to partner with many organizations and community members as we celebrate our country's Semiquincentennial. @America250

Happy New Year! 2026 will be a monumental year for our country, civic education, and Founding Forward. We are thrilled to commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence throughout 2026.

Applications for our first teacher seminar of 2026 are closing soon. Educators won’t want to miss out on Lincoln, Douglass Slavery, and the Future of American Self-Government, January 16-18. Apply now. foundingforward.pulse.ly/z4mshim2rz

Founding Forward and the Friends of the Medal of Honor Grove welcomed 200 guests to the Valley Forge Campus to honor our fallen heroes during our annual Wreaths Across the Grove event.
