America 250 Ohio is the statewide initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.

America 250 Ohio highlights Ohio’s role in shaping the nation and encourages local organizations, educators, and residents to participate in meaningful ways, from historical exhibits and cultural celebrations to civic engagement and educational projects.
Nothing says “Happy 250th Anniversary, America!” quite like a picnic. So, throughout the month of July in 2026, communities all across Ohio will gather for food, fun and friendship to celebrate our nation’s freedom, honor of our nation’s history and Ohio’s notable contributions to U.S. history!
Ohio’s Homecoming & Picnics will be a chance for Ohioans to gather in groups of all sizes – from family groups to companies, churches, civic organizations, and even whole communities. It is an opportunity to invite friends from far and near to reconnect and share this festive celebration.
Saturday, July 11th

Celebrate AMERICA250 | Time Travelers Passport
2026-07-12 11:00 - 15:00 UTC
America 250 Ohio is the statewide initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.
The Libbey House is participating in America250–Ohio and the Time Travelers Passport program, which highlight significant places, people, and moments in our community and nation during the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
As part of the nationwide America250 celebration, these programs connects local stories to the larger American story, highlighting how people, places, and events here helped shape the nation over the past 250 years. We invite you to discover how Northwest Ohio fits into 250 years of American history—and why it still matters today!
Time Travelers Passport will also be held on July 11 and 12 at the historic Libbey House from 11am-3pm.
The Time Travelers Passport guides you step by step through Northwest Ohio’s past. Just grab a passport by clicking the logo below, start exploring, and collect stamps along the way. Visit at least 8 of our 12 historic sites (or go for the full dozen if you’re a true Time Traveler). Get your passport stamped at each stop as you explore the stories, people, and places that shaped our region over the last 250 years. Once your passport is stamped, bring it to the National Museum of the Great Lakes and collect your commemorative Time Travelers coin—proof that you’ve completed the journey and officially conquered time itself.
