Celebrating America250 and America250PA!

An America250PA Non-Profit Affiliate

America250 marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 1776—a powerful milestone in the life of a bold and enduring experiment. As the nation reaches two and a half centuries, we are invited to celebrate the ideals that sparked its beginning: liberty, equality, and self-government. By honoring the people, events, and struggles that shaped our shared story, we not only remember where we have been, but also gain inspiration to shape the future we choose to build together. 


As a non-profit affiliate member of America250PA, Winters Heritage House Museum is thrilled to celebrate America250. We proudly invite our members and the community to take part in an exciting lineup of events and programs that honor our nation’s past, celebrate its enduring ideals, and inspire us as we look toward the future.
