The themes in this guide encourage a deep engagement with the entirety of our past, one full of moments that both inspire and challenge us.Making History at 250 can help the history community coordinate their efforts in advance of 2026 and work together to fulfill the incredible, transformative potential of the Semiquincentennial.
