The Pennsylvania Commission for the United States Semi quincentennial (America 250PA) was established by the PA legislature and governor in 2018 to plan, encourage, develop, coordinate the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, Pennsylvania’s integral role in that event, and the impact of its people on the nation’s past, present, and future. In January 2025, Mercer County will begin celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States by acknowledging our history through events designed to engage Mercer County residents and recognize the contributions of everyone from our agricultural community to our economic sector.
