In the heart of the American West, the state of Idaho prepares to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, America250.
The Idaho Legislature declares 2024 through 2027 as the period of commemoration for America250 in Idaho during which time individuals, organizations, and communities may plan commemorative activities that will honor and recognize the principles and foundational thoughts that emerged during America's revolutionary period and which we all aspire to today.
The Idaho Legislature invites all Idahoans to promote an awareness and understanding of the principles contained in the nation's founding documents.
We encourage all Idahoans to reflect on American and state history and heritage, develop deeper connections within their communities, and advance Idaho's contributions and values for the benefit of our children and future generations.
