This year, the Supreme Court Historical Society turns 50. Join us as we celebrate half a century of history preservation and civics education, from John Jay’s first assembly to the current John Roberts Court. We’re reflecting on our achievements and looking toward the future, with plans to inspire the next generation with stories from America’s highest court.
The Supreme Court Historical Society
To help fund the next 50 years of Supreme Court history collection, preservation, and education, we’re building a $50 million endowment. Your generous support will ensure our ability to inspire future generations with stories and lessons from the Court’s rich constitutional heritage.
The best way to celebrate our 50 years of impact is to experience it first-hand by attending one of our events. Check back often as we’re adding new events regularly.
