2026 is a year of big events across the country. To quote the US Semiquincentennial Commission (more commonly known as America 250) “on July 4th, 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.”
The Flag House is excited to participate in not one, but TWO 250th celebrations: Mary Pickersgill’s 250th birthday on February 12th, and a new exhibit highlighting Maryland’s impact on our country titled “Maryland’s America.”
