Welcome to the Town of Stonington’s America 250 Celebration!

The Town of Stonington has partnered with Historic Stonington to celebrate 250 years of American culture, progress and tradition. We aim to inspire our fellow countrymen to reflect on our past, strengthen our love of country, and renew our commitment to the ideals of democracy through programs that educate, engage, and unite us as a community and a nation. America 250 will foster shared experiences that spark imagination, showcase the rich tapestry of our American stories, inspire service in our communities, honor the enduring strength, and celebrate the resilience of the United States of America. This year presents an opportunity to come together as friends and neighbors to set the course for what the next 250 years of the American story will look like.
