America 250 Celebrations Have Begun!
Join us at SCHS as we celebrate the birth of America with special programming throughout the year!
As America’s 250th anniversary approaches, the Schuylkill County Historical Society is excited to begin a year of celebration, reflection, and storytelling.
Schuylkill County has its own important place in the nation’s history, and throughout 2026 we’ll be hosting special programs and events to highlight the people and stories that helped shape our country.
We can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with our community — stay tuned for what’s ahead!
