To commemorate America’s 250th birthday, Bucks 250 representatives gathered diverse community stakeholders at the Mercer Museum to launch this notable initiative to celebrate history and this significant anniversary. The U.S Semiquincentennial, also called the Bisesquincentennial, the Sestercentennial or the Quarter Millennial, will be the 250th anniversary of the 1776 U.S. Declaration of Independence. The milestone officially will be celebrated on July 4, 2026. Bucks 250 board chair and County Commissioner Bob Harvie says, "Let's reflect on values fought for during our Revolution, and do all we can to make sure every American lives the dream of genuine freedom, liberty and equality."
