United States Semiquincentennial

On March 10, 2022, the Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 2022-30 supporting the Pennsylvania Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial. Springettsbury Township endorses the America250PA, www.america250pa.org program, created in 2018 by the Pennsylvania General Assembly and Governor Tom Wolf to plan, encourage, develop, and coordinate the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026. Pennsylvania is an integral part of the United States history and the founding of this nation. America250PA hopes to engage citizens of the Commonwealth, from all 67 counties to bring the Commonwealth’s history into the conversation so Pennsylvanians can better understand the origins and multiple perspectives of issues facing our Commonwealth and nation, today. America250PA proposes to use history to encourage and inspire future leaders, celebrate the contributions of Pennsylvanians not only in the history of this Commonwealth, but also in our nation’s history. America250PA will have numerous officially recognized programs, projects, and events over the next five years to inspire and celebrate Pennsylvania’s contribution to the United States throughout the past 250 years. Springettsbury officially supports America250PA and its EPIC mission to Educate, Preserve, Innovate, and Celebrate the rich history and diversity of Pennsylvania. “Start here, America did!” Visit www.america250pa.org for more information on this exciting time celebrating the history of Pennsylvania and the United States of America.
