In 2026, the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, a historic event known as the Semiquincentennial. This nationwide commemoration is a moment to reflect on our history, and the state-level America 250-Ohio commission is dedicated to telling the stories of Ohioans who have shaped the nation’s past, present, and future.
The Crawford County Commissioners have designated the CCHA as the lead organization for America 250-Ohio programming throughout the county. As an alliance of fourteen local non-profit organizations , we are uniquely positioned to plan and coordinate a series of impactful local celebrations.
