Freedom 250

Freedom 250 is a non-partisan organization delivering presidential-level celebrations for our nation’s 250th birthday.

250 years ago, a single sheet of parchment changed the course of human history. Last night, on the National Mall, America celebrated it in full with Salute to America.

There, President Trump said, “We may be the oldest constitutional republic on Earth, but our country is just getting started because the best is yet to come.” 🇺🇸

Continue celebrating our great country by attending the Great American State Fair through July 10th.

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

Yesterday, Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos, Director of National Health Communications for the Office of the Surgeon General, delivered remarks at the Great American State Fair on one of the most pressing challenges facing young people today: harmful screen use. She encouraged children and families across America to get off screens, get outdoors, and Live Real Life.

Thank you, @Freedom250, for providing a stage to help Make America Healthy Again 🇺🇸

Some notes from the Pennsylvania booth at the @Freedom250 Great American State Fair. Bravo @SenFettermanPA and @SenMcCormickPA 🇺🇸

After you visit our exhibit at the @Freedom250 Great American State Fair, check out our mural at the @amhistorymuseum!

This special exhibit highlights the role of America’s Transit System in the DMV, and showcases Metro-accessible destinations across the region. 🚇

See both exhibits now! It’s a fun way to celebrate Metro’s 50th anniversary, and America’s 250th! 🎉

Our Oklahoma: Bold Belongs Here exhibit kicks off today on the National Mall at The Great American State Fair in Washington DC!

Stop by and see for yourself how the West is more than a memory here.
It's cowboy culture still woven into everyday life.
It's artists turning heritage into new expression.
It's small towns, city streets and open land telling the same story in different voices.

This is not a reenactment. This is the Bold West.
This is Oklahoma and Bold Belongs Here!

American strength on full display. 💪🇺🇸 Never Surrender America is running pull-up, push-up, and hanging challenges at the Great American State Fair, with elite athletes pushing the limits of what’s possible. Come test yourself.

[Freedom 250 @Freedom250]

🇺🇸 Live from the Great American State Fair: watch A Band For Brothers hand-fill American flag pins with epoxy, one color at a time. This is 100% American-made craftsmanship, the same process behind the insignia and dog tags worn by our U.S. Military. Real hands. Real heritage.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Nothing more American than a rodeo. 🇺🇸🤠

@Freedom250 on the National Mall where cowboys rode with the pure spirit of liberty that built the greatest nation on earth.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

As America celebrated 250 years of freedom, @POTUS recognized the astronauts who represent both our proud history and our bold future in space.

A well-deserved recognition for Apollo 17’s Jack Schmitt and the Artemis II crew during the Salute to America. 🇺🇸

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

What an incredible day celebrating America. 🇺🇸

Thank you to @A1Policy for having me for a fireside chat on the Athletics for America initiative — keeping our sports strong, fair, and rooted in the values that made this country great.

And thank you to @coachbrucepearl and @EnesFreedom for a great conversation!

Grateful to be part of it all. Let's keep winning.

President Trump rings in America’s 250th birthday at Salute to America with a powerful tribute to the true American spirit.

"For 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light and the glory among all of the nations of the world."

"All over the world, they try and be like us. Nobody can be like us. And with God's help, we will always be this or even better."
