The 2026 White House Heritage Collection ornament is now available for purchase and serves as a tribute to the United States’s 250th anniversary.
The rectangular ornament is covered in 24-karat gold embellishments. It features historical symbols, including the Liberty Bell, which is depicted in the middle of the ornament, with the U.S. Capitol just below.
One side shows the presidential seal and the Statue of Liberty, which was a gift from France on July 4, 1884, and is now a beloved monument in New York. In the bottom left corner, three servicemen are shown saluting in various uniforms, representing different branches of the armed forces.
Behind all the symbols is an American flag in the shape of the U.S. The bottom of the ornament reads: “1776-2026 250th Anniversary.” The U.S. declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776, with the signing of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson.
