Slideshow: 2009 year in review

2009 has been a remarkable year for the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to serve over 4 million visitors with world-class exhibitions and engaging programs. I hope you enjoy this slideshow of our treasured collections and some of the best moments of 2009.

You can still make a difference this year—today is your last chance to make a donation to the National Museum of American History and benefit from a 2009 tax deduction. Help us prepare for an exciting New Year by making your donation before midnight tonight. 

Thank you for all that you do for the National Museum of American History. Best wishes for a happy and safe holiday season.
