Welcome to America250-Alaska

America250 is a nonpartisan initiative working to engage every American in commemorating and celebrating the 250th anniversary of our country in 2026.

The guiding principle for Alaska’s participation is History for Tomorrow highlighting the importance of the next generation to Alaska’s future.

The theme was inspired by the Alaska Constitution Convention members, who, in a resolution passed on February 5, 1956, bequeathed the state constitution they had just forged to Alaska’s youth.

“You are our future,” states the resolution. “We ask you to take tomorrow and dream.“

Like Alaska’s optimistic founders who created the 49th Star in the Union, America250-Alaska believes that when young people learn how they connect to Alaska’s past, they will be more inclined to contribute to building a prosperous future for our state.
