Historic Blooming Grove Historical Society is going to put two (electric) candles in a street-facing second-story window of our historic Dean House in Madison for most of April but especially for April 14 & 15 to commemorate Paul Revere's ride - opening salvo in the fight for independence.  We have written an article about the ride which we will try to get published in local newspapers and read on local radio.

250 Con is the final and only large-scale national gathering for history practitioners looking to make plans for the U.S. Semiquincentennial before we enter the anniversary year. Join this online event to learn how to connect your organization to major 250th initiatives at the state and national level.

We encourage history organization of all sizes, types, and locations to join in marking this milestone. Only broad, grassroots participation in the 250th can create a commemoration that advances an honest and complete story of our country’s evolution before, during, and since declaring independence.

The contributions of individual museums and history doers are essential to making the most of the Semiquincentennial’s transformative potential to strengthen both our field and our society. We have the chance to demonstrate the value of our nation’s historical infrastructure, renew civic engagement, and deepen public understanding of American history—in all of its complexity.

Attend 250 Con to learn about national and state initiatives that local history organizations across the country can join. You’ll also hear from the leaders of America250, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian Institution, who will provide inspiration and excitement as we make final preparations for 2026.
