HUNT VALLEY, MD and GRAND RAPIDS, MI - May 6, 2026 - Sinclair today announced that the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum has joined Amazing America 250: From Neighborhood to Nation as a national sponsor, supporting a multi-platform initiative celebrating America's 250th anniversary through stories of history, service, and cultural connection.
As part of the partnership, the Museum's brand awareness and visitation campaign will run during National Travel + Tourism Week (May 4-10), spotlighting its upcoming exhibit, Waltzing with the Queen: President Ford and The Anglo-American Special Relationship. The exhibit will run from May 23 through October 25, 2026, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The exhibit guides visitors through defining moments of modern history, from World War II and the Cold War to the Ford Administration and culminating in Queen Elizabeth II's historic 1976 Bicentennial visit to the United States, a powerful symbol of the enduring relationship between the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
"Institutions like the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum play a vital role in preserving the moments that have helped shape our nation," said Ryan Moore, EVP and CRO, Sinclair. "Through Amazing America 250: From Neighborhood to Nation, we are proud to partner with organizations that invite Americans to engage more deeply with our shared history and experience it firsthand."
The national campaign will feature digital and on-air promotion designed to inspire travel and drive in-person visitation, encouraging audiences to explore the exhibit and plan visits to the Museum. Messaging will highlight the exhibit's historical significance, cultural relevance, and its appeal as a must-see destination for travelers, families, students, and history enthusiasts.
"The Waltzing with the Queen exhibit could not be timelier as we approach the Semiquincentennial. As we prepare to commemorate 250 years of American independence, this interactive exhibit will offer a unique opportunity to reflect on our nation's history, tracing the enduring bonds between the U.S. and the U.K.," said Supervisory Curator Dr. Mirelle Luecke, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum. "In addition, the exhibit will showcase the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations including Queen Elizabeth II's notable visit."
