On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation.
The Peoria Riverfront Museum will be putting on a series of exhibitions to celebrate 250 years of America art, science, history and achievement.
