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 has launched its Keystone Classroom Initiative, a storytelling and visitation program for kindergarten through fourth-grade classrooms, children’s hospitals, and youth camps across the Commonwealth.
