About VA250

The American Revolution 250 Commission

Established by the General Assembly in 2020, VA250 serves to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the Revolutionary War, and the Independence of the United States in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

About Our Platform

America. Made In Virginia.

From its founding ideals to its leading figures, more of what made America happen, happened here in Virginia. Which makes Virginia the ideal place to learn about our nation’s beginnings, no matter what state you call home.

Join the Semiquincentennial Movement!

It’s hard to pronounce, but easy to do. If you share our appreciation for this unique moment, we invite you to:

With your help, we can educate Americans about our history; engage with every community to tell a complete story; and inspire people to recommit to the values inherent in citizenship. Ultimately helping us form the “more perfect union” envisioned by the Revolutionary generation.
