Burned twice, mocked, and bracing for the big one

Oregon's state capitol in Salem has burned down twice, spent 20 years in a political battle just to decide which city it would be in, was publicly derided as a "squirrel cage" when it finally opened in 1938 as one of only three Art Deco state capitols in the United States, and is now undergoing a nearly $600 million seismic retrofit to protect it from the Cascadia subduction zone — a fault that last ruptured at magnitude 9.0 in 1700.

The dreadnought that stumbled into the lead

SMS Westfalen — Germany's oldest dreadnought, built with Victorian pistons in the age of turbines and an unusual hexagonal gun layout no other navy used — found itself leading the entire High Seas Fleet at Jutland on the night of May 31 to June 1, 1916, a quirk of formation that turned into a short, brutal action against British destroyers. Wikipedia selected it as the Featured Article for June 1, 2026, the 110th anniversary of the battle.

The outdoor museum Nashville built for its birthday

Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park — a 19-acre outdoor museum in downtown Nashville modeled on the National Mall — draws 2.5 million visitors a year and holds the distinction of being Tennessee's most-visited state park. The article traces its story from French Lick Creek and "Hell's Half Acre" through the 1995 political near-cancellation (saved by Bob Corker and Howard Baker in a bipartisan intervention), to the park's extraordinary density of monuments, a 95-bell carillon, a granite map you can walk on, a live railroad trestle painted white, and buried time capsules whose scheduled opening date is 2096. Wikipedia selected it as the Featured Article for May 31, 2026.
