America's Potluck - Harriet Beecher Stowe House

In partnership with America 250

Join us at the Harriet Beecher Stowe House for America’s Potluck, a nationwide initiative inviting neighbors to come together around a shared table to celebrate community, connection, and our shared American story.

America’s Potluck is rooted in the simple but powerful act of sharing a meal. By gathering with people from different backgrounds and experiences, we create space for conversation, understanding, and belonging—values that have shaped our nation since its founding.

📅 Why Sunday, July 5, 2026?
As we mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this potluck embraces the tradition of Sunday dinner—a time to slow down, serve one another, and reflect. Through food, dialogue, and fellowship, we honor the freedoms we share and the responsibility we have to one another as Americans.

Held at a site deeply connected to conversations about freedom, justice, and community, this gathering invites participants to reflect on how our collective past informs our shared future.

Bring a dish, bring a friend, and bring your stories. Together, we’ll celebrate America—one table at a time.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
