America250PA

WHAT IS AMERICA250PA?


The Pennsylvania Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial

(America250PA) was established by the legislature and Governor in 2018

to plan, encourage, develop and coordinate the commemoration of the

250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Pennsylvania’s

integral role in that event, and the impact of its people on the nation’s

past, present, and future.


America250PA hopes to engage all citizens of the Commonwealth, from

all 67 counties. Pennsylvania is the birthplace of democracy and almost

250 years ago, thirteen colonies joined together, here, to sign the

Declaration of Independence. A document that conveys the ideas of

equality, liberty, and government. These ideals help us identify the

cornerstone of our rights and responsibilities as Americans and

Pennsylvanians. There will be events, programs, and initiatives across

Pennsylvania leading up to the big celebration in 2026.
