The 250th anniversary, also called the Semi-quincentennial, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, when the thirteen American colonies declared their freedom from British rule. This historic milestone reflects the founding ideals of liberty, equality, and self-governance, and honors the efforts of the Founding Fathers and early Americans who fought for independence and established the United States as a republic . Governor George Pardee’s family home is a fabulous destination for a safe and enjoyable way to celebrate this important holiday.
