Today in History:
On Aug. 10, 1846, after eight years of sometimes heated debate, an Act of Congress
signed by President James K. Polk, established the
Smithsonian Institution
as a trust to be administered by a Board of Regents and a
Secretary of the Smithsonian.
For more info,
there's a video on our Web site about The Smithsonian. Catch it
