The National Museum of American History holds the Smithsonian's collections of the nation's social, political, and material life, from the first ladies' gowns to Julia Child's kitchen. Its centerpiece is the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that flew over Fort McHenry in 1814 and inspired the national anthem. Galleries trace democracy, innovation, and everyday American culture.
