America250PA Delco is the nonpartisan, local project for the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. We are working to make infrastructure investments to public spaces like historic sites and trails; promote historical tourism; increase civic engagement and understanding for Delco residents; and of course, throw fun 4th of July parties and activities leading up to 2026, like only Delco can.

Delaware County, PA is where William Penn first landed in Pennsylvania in 1682 and is widely celebrated as ‘Where Pennsylvania Began.’ Today, patriotism still runs deep in Delco. Home to some of the country’s most beloved historical sites, welcoming main streets, celebrated museums, gorgeous parks, and gardens. From thrilling soccer games on the Chester waterfront to apple picking in the orchards, world-class cuisine to home-grown hidden gems, Delaware County is a snapshot of American freedoms in action.

OUR VISION
All who live and work in Delaware County will find meaningful participation and appreciation for their civic involvement in America's 250th anniversary now through 2026. We will ignite imaginations, elevate diverse stories, inspire service, highlight the American founding and 250 years of American history through Delco’s unique lens. Our celebration will sow cultural, educational, civic, and economic benefits well beyond 2026.
