Celebrating 250 Years of Freedom

More than two centuries ago, our founding fathers signed one of the most important documents in the world: The Declaration of Independence.

This one event laid the foundation for what the United States, and Indiana, are today. This year, we commemorate the 250^th anniversary of our country.

Hoosiers can take part in local celebrations and learn more about upcoming America250 events across the state this year at in.gov/usa250. If you plan to travel to our nation's capital, you can find events and celebrations here.

Thank you to generations of military members and families who have defended the freedom, values and ideals of our great country. Happy Independence Day and let's all do our part to ensure another 250 years of freedom!
