About this listen

In 2026, the United States will commemorate 250 years since the American Revolution and the founding of our nation. Here in Fredericksburg—a city deeply connected to that history—plans are already underway to mark the milestone through a community-wide initiative called FXBG250.

In this episode of Let’s Talk FAM, host Kelli Carneal is joined by President & CEO Sam McKelvey, Director of Programs & Interpretation Clarissa Sanders, and Curator of Collections Kylie Thomson to discuss how the Fredericksburg Area Museum is preparing for this historic anniversary. From new exhibitions that spotlight untold stories to inclusive programming and city-wide partnerships, you’ll hear how FAM is helping Fredericksburg connect the past to the present—and inviting the entire community to be part of it.
