Virginia’s History is America’s Story! Established by the General Assembly to commemorate Virginia’s role in the 250th anniversary of American independence, the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250) will mark the nation’s semiquincentennial by bringing Virginians together to learn more about Virginia’s key role in shaping the nation, better understand the untold stories and unsung heroes that shaped our past, and inspire our ongoing work to form a more perfect union. Our overarching goals are to:
Virginia’s semiquincentennial is not simply about our past. How we commemorate our founding also impacts our present and our future. This is why the Virginia 250 Commission has chosen “To Form a More Perfect Union” as our theme. Our founders knew there was more work required two hundred and fifty years ago, and work remains to be done.
“Virginia’s History is America’s Story” is more than a tagline on marketing collateral. Virginia has always been the crucible of our nation, from our founding to the present day. Because of the leadership role Virginia has always played, VA250 leads the nation in the celebration of our semiquincentennial.
