Monroe County, PA
Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of Declaration of Independence.
America’s 250th Anniversary is about more than reflecting on our past, it’s about honoring the contributions of individuals who built this country, the innovations that put this country on the map and a man on the moon, and imagining what the next 250 years might look like for our children and the generations to come. Monroe County will be honoring our history and heritage with events throughout 2026.
