After a marathon 13 days on the road, America250PA has concluded its Statewide Semiquincentennial County Kick-off Tour, in preparation for the 250th anniversary of the United States. From January 16-29, Executive Director Cassandra Coleman hosted official County Kick-off ceremonies that recognized local history, partnerships, and each county’s role in the Commonwealth’s commemoration. The tour reached 52 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties, with weather curtailing visits to 15 counties. The group hopes to reschedule those visits. The kick-off events highlighted America250PA’s statewide mission and signature initiatives while reinforcing a guiding principle of the Semiquincentennial: every county, every community, and every Pennsylvanian has a place in this once-in-a-generation anniversary.
