In collaboration with the City of Douglas, it is an honor to invite you to attend the Opening Reception of the “Moments That Made Us: America 250 / Douglas 125” Exhibition.

This special exhibit celebrates the defining moments that have shaped our nation and our community, highlighting the rich history and cultural legacy of Douglas as we commemorate these significant milestones.

Guests will have the opportunity to experience the exhibit firsthand and enjoy a complimentary Mother’s Day art activity, where they can create a painted vase or canvas. We encourage you to share this invitation with others who may be interested in this special event.

The exhibition will remain open Wednesday through Saturday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM through May 30, 2026, with additional visits available by appointment.

Additionally, we are pleased to share that the Mariachi Festival will also take place that day at Placita Park, in front of the Gadsden Hotel, from 2:30 PM to 7:30 PM. The festival will feature live performances, tacos de barbacoa for sale, and proceeds will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Douglas and the Mark Dannels Scholarship for Public Safety.
