America 250 Mason County Celebrates A Year Of Community
Guided by historical societies at the federal, state, and local levels, America 250 Mason County has spent 2025 honoring the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. As we approach July 4, 2026—the 250th anniversary our community has enjoyed a variety of events designed to celebrate our shared heritage, with even more activities planned for the coming year.
America 250 Mason County extends its heartfelt appreciation to the many organizations, partners, and volunteers who have supported our mission throughout 2025. Their generosity and enthusiasm have brought history to life across the region.
We offer special thanks to: The City of Shelton, the Wilde Irish Pub, and North Mason Community Voice for hosting the Two Lights for Tomorrow presentations. Forest Festival and Loop Field organizers for welcoming our participation in both the Forest Festival Parade and the Loop Field festivities. Oyster Fest organizers for providing space to commemorate the 250th anniversaries of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and the U.S. Post Office— along with a heartfelt thank-you to all who have served in the military and to those who have helped deliver the mail. Festival of the Firs organizers for creating a joyful setting filled with Christmas and winter cheer. We are also grateful to the hundreds of visitors who added their names to our replica copy of the Declaration of Independence. Your signatures symbolize a living connection to the spirit of 1776, and we look forward to offering even more opportunities to sign in 2026.
Next year promises to be an exciting continuation of our journey toward America’s 250th birthday, with new partnerships and even more engaging community events on the horizon.
