Connect with the past. Take action in the present. Shape the future.

Jamestown Settlement and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown join museums and historic sites across the country to host Civic Season, a series of civics-related programs and events to engage younger generations in the role of American democracy.

Celebrate America's 250th

In partnership with Made By Us, Civic Season programs aim to celebrate and inform civic engagement. With 2026 marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this is the perfect opportunity to lay the groundwork for a meaningful, vibrant commemoration for all.

A commemorative partner of the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission, the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown tells the story of the nation’s founding. Comprehensive indoor exhibits and outdoor living-history areas capture the transformational nature and epic scale of the Revolution and its relevance today.
