Today’s puzzle features a construction scene at the site of the new United States National Museum, known today as the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, on September 26, 1904. Legislation for the new building was passed in 1902, but Smithsonian administrators halted construction in 1905 because they were unhappy with the architects’ plans. Laborers worked at the site until the building was completed in 1911.
