BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Governor Brad Little announced the launch of a new initiative that will commemorate the United States’ 250th anniversary, which will take place in 2026.
The initiative is titled “America250” and will work to advance community projects and events that honor the milestone and celebrate Idaho’s own place in the country’s history.
“The United States of America is the greatest nation in the world and worthy of celebration. As we approach the 250th anniversary of American independence, Idaho is proud to recognize our nation’s triumphant history and the contributions of the Gem State,” Governor Little said. “I look forward to seeing the America250 in Idaho initiative inspire patriotism, build civic participation, and celebrate freedom.”
The Idaho State History Society (ISHS) will spearhead a dedicated task force and lead several state offices in organizing events throughout the state.
According to a press release from the office of the Governor, the initiative will work with the America250 in Idaho Advisory Council which was created through the passage of the 2024 House Concurrent Resolution 31, a bill that aims to inspire statewide participation in patriotism.
More information on America250 can be found on the organization's website.
