About this Event

America at 250 is a yearlong commemoration of the Declaration of Independence and its legacy. This series will observe America’s 250th birthday with events and exhibits for people of all ages, exploring America’s founding document, the rights we have and aspire to, and how generations of Americans have struggled to preserve and expand these rights.
