An Official Publication of America250 — Hardbound Edition

Our Mission

250 Years. One Publication.

On July 4, 2026, the United States of America will mark its 250th birthday — a milestone so rare that only ten generations have ever lived to see it. An Official Publication of America250 exists to capture this once-in-a-lifetime moment in print, in permanent form, for the generations who will look back and ask, "What was it like to be there?"

This is not a magazine, and it is not a book. It is a definitive tribute — a beautifully designed, expertly written, collector-grade publication produced to the highest standards of American craftsmanship. From the Founding Fathers to the next 250 years, our pages tell the full story of who we are.

The Vision

For Every American. For Every Generation.

An Official Publication of America250 is for the patriot, the history lover, the proud American, the veteran, the teacher, the parent, and the collector. It is for the family that gathers on July 4th and the one that hangs the flag year-round. It is for the office, the library, the classroom, and the coffee table.

Above all, it is for the generations to come — the children and grandchildren who, one day, will turn these pages and see what we built, what we honored, and what we believed.

This is the heirloom of our moment. This is your invitation to be part of it.

The Team

Behind the Pages

An Official Publication of America250 is the work of a team of American writers, editors, designers, historians, and patriots who have come together to create the definitive publication of our nation's 250th anniversary.

We work alongside leading institutions, sponsors, and contributors from across the country — military and veterans organizations, faith and community leaders, educators, journalists, and citizens whose voices help tell the full story of America.

Together, we are building something that will outlast us — a publication crafted with care, integrity, and the deep belief that this country, in all its complexity, is worth celebrating.
