Thanks-Giving Square is a beautiful three-acre park, chapel and museum in the heart of downtown Dallas with a setting to inspire gratitude. The park is an oasis for our city’s growing residential life, as well as a daily spot to hear rushing water and a respite for professionals who work in the nearby high-rise office buildings. Our chapel has a unique spiral exterior designed by world famous architect Philip Johnson and an interior spiral of 73 stained-glass panels created by French artist Gabriel Loire. The museum is a rare compilation of historical documentation around Thanksgiving, as it takes place all over the world, but especially in the United States, dating back to the Continental Congress.
The Thanks-Giving Foundation, a Texas non-profit corporation, provides funding for and management of Thanks-Giving Square. The organization comprises Thanks-Giving Square, its Interfaith Council, Neighbors Council, annual Expressions Art & Essay Competition for students in grades K-12, a full-time staff, and the support of thousands of visitors who come to the Square each year from all 50 states and more than 100 countries.
The Thanks-Giving Foundation promotes the spirit and unifying value of giving thanks in our community, nation, and the world. The Foundation encourages citizens from diverse backgrounds to use thanksgiving as a way to heal divisions and enhance mutual understanding. For more information, please visit www.thanksgiving.org.
