“Spark! Places of Innovation” Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition
May 16, 2026
Hill Country Trail Region
Tuesday through Saturday 10am-4pm
The exhibit will dive into innovation and invention happening in rural America. In small towns across America, people are creating new products, taking risks, meeting challenges together, and seizing upon exciting opportunities that change local life and sometimes reach far beyond.
Spark! features stories from over 30 rural communities across the nation that reveal the dynamic relationship between place and creativity. Technical, social, cultural, artistic, or a combination of all of these—every innovation is as unique as each community.
