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.
We are striving to make 2026 EPIC...
EDUCATE.
PRESERVE.
INNOVATE.
CELEBRATE.

#PAProud?
The 250th Commemoration allows Pennsylvanians the opportunity to showcase its amazing people, places, and businesses that make us #PAPROUD. To ensure we capture the best the Commonwealth has to offer, it requires a statewide effort.
