How My Museum’s Celebration of America’s 250th Birthday Got Complicated

The New York Historical museum is gearing up to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026, amidst challenges such as funding cuts and political tensions. Despite these obstacles, there is a sense of idealism and optimism among citizens when it comes to honoring the country’s history.

One initiative that the museum has undertaken is the creation of a digital platform called OnOur250th.org, where citizens can leave their “birthday wishes” for the nation and its democracy. This platform has garnered submissions from people across the country, expressing their hopes for unity, dedication, and a better future for the nation.

However, securing funding for this initiative has been a challenge, with cuts from national endowments and reluctance from corporate sponsors. The museum had to rely on a generous foundation for support, cutting back on exhibition advertising to make ends meet.

Navigating the political landscape has also been a task, with media outlets wanting the museum to comment on political issues. Despite the temptation to engage in political discourse, the museum has stayed focused on its mission to educate Americans about their history and create a more perfect union.

The launch of OnOur250th.org has been met with an outpouring of submissions from citizens of all ages and backgrounds, advocating for national unity, equality, and opportunity. The museum has received an overwhelming response, with submissions coming in from almost every state in the country.

Locally, the museum found inspiration in a community in the Adirondacks, where an annual Fourth of July parade brought residents together in a nonpartisan celebration of the nation’s founding. This sense of unity and patriotism is echoed in the wishes left on the museum’s virtual wish wall, emphasizing the importance of coming together as a nation.

By highlighting these sentiments and celebrating the nation’s history, the New York Historical museum hopes to contribute to a more perfect union and inspire citizens to work towards a better future for the country.
