The sensible reponse (it’s not too late!):
A national park.
Large scale park landscaped with trees, walkways, campgrounds, visitor center, etc.
And statuary.
An immense outdoor museum of American statuary. A celebration of art form and idea. And an exercise in public history.
Win win win

A #miniature, probably taken from a #bookofhours, showing the Feast of #Candlemas (2 February), with villagers taking candles to the #church to be blessed.
