Celebrate the 250th birthday of America at the Thomas Crane Public Library. Join us for a great lineup of events and programming, including book discussions, film screenings, crafts, and more.
America250’ is a year-long celebration to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and to embrace our history of the American Revolution. It includes commemorations and the many battles that led to independence. This is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond.
