America 250-Ohio
What is America250?
On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation's past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond.
Communities throughout the nation will engage in special events, storytelling and remembering the past as part of a national commemoration of the “America250”. America250 is a product of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission, established by Congress in 2016 to plan and orchestrate the 250th anniversary. The Commission is directed to engage Americans across the country in designing the largest and most inclusive anniversary observance in our nation's history.
