Hope has the power to move us forward, but its greatest impact comes when opportunity isn’t reserved for a select few.

As we begin a new week, may we not only pursue our own dreams, but also help create pathways for others to dream, grow, and succeed.

Because when we make room for others to rise, we all move forward.

On Women’s Equality Day, we’re celebrating Caroline Scott Harrison. An artist, educator, preservationist, and advocate who used her position to create opportunities for women and leave a legacy of her own.

Caroline was passionate about expanding opportunities for women. She helped raise funds for Johns Hopkins University’s medical school with the understanding that women would be admitted on the same terms as men, and she became the first President General of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

She was also an accomplished artist, taught music before her marriage, championed historic preservation, and helped elevate American arts and craftsmanship during her time as First Lady.

Caroline Harrison’s story reminds us that the women surrounding our presidents weren’t simply witnesses to history, they were helping shape it.

Today, we celebrate her contributions and the generations of women who continued pushing for greater opportunity and equality.

🏛️ Visit the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site to discover more of Caroline’s story, see her artwork and experience the home she helped create.

Integrity isn't just about doing what's right when someone is watching—it's about choosing what is right because it shapes who we become and the trust we build with others.

Our actions have a ripple effect. They can strengthen confidence, inspire hope, and encourage others—or they can do the opposite.

As you begin this week, choose honesty, kindness, and integrity. The example you set matters more than you may ever know.

Celebrate the start of Constitution Week with us!

Join the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site and the Daughters of the American Revolution on September 16 as we kick off a week dedicated to commemorating one of our nation’s founding documents, the U.S. Constitution.

Constitution Week has been observed nationally since 1956, when the DAR successfully petitioned Congress to designate September 17–23 as a time to reflect on the Constitution, the rights it protects, and the responsibilities of citizenship.

Gather with us at the Sarah Evans Barker Citizenship Plaza for remarks from representatives of the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and local and state government.

📅 Wednesday, September 16
⏰ 8:30–9:30 AM
Free & open to the public
🎟️ No tickets required

As we continue commemorating America 250, we invite our community to join us in reflecting on the document that continues to shape our democracy today.
