PROGRAM STRUCTURE
One Day. One Year. One Story.
The 250-day journey from 1776 to 2026 gives one day of learning for each year of America's history. American history is featured every day, while a five-day cycle rotates through five additional themes. Before each five-day block, a dedicated state introduction day celebrates one of the 50 states in the order they joined the union — these 50 days sit outside the 250, making the full experience 300 days.

State Spotlight
Before each five-day block, a dedicated introduction day celebrates one of the 50 states — in the order they joined the union. These 50 intro days sit outside the 250, making the full journey 300 days in total.
"America enters its 250th year at a time of deep division, declining civic literacy, and fragmentation of national identity. The semiquincentennial is an opportunity to unify the country around the enduring values that remind us who we are and what we can achieve together."
