The First State. The Diamond State. The Small Wonder. Land of beaches, farms, and festivals, horseshoe crabs and Blue Hens, art, industry, and agriculture. Home of a million-plus diverse and remarkable people. Heart of our nation’s history.

Whatever you call it, Delaware is a unique place—and the upcoming 250th anniversary of America’s independence is an opportunity to reflect on the State’s past, honor the present, and look to the future.

A special project of the Delaware Heritage Commission and the Delaware Public Archives, Delaware 250 joins with America 250 to support planning and programming for the United States Semiquincentennial in 2026, and to commemorate the many histories and stories of both the First State and the nation.
