WASHINGTON — A fleet of six mobile museums, known as "Freedom Trucks," are traveling throughout 2026, bringing the story of American independence to students, families, and citizens in every corner of our country and near many military communities.
With interactive and inspiring content for visitors of all ages, the exhibits tell the extraordinary story of how 13 colonies declared independence, defeated the greatest empire in the world and secured American sovereignty 250 years ago. With engaging elements such as quizzes, a kiosk to sign your name digitally to the Declaration of Independence and a wall of 50 American heroes, these exhibits celebrate the remarkable achievements that 250 years have made possible.
The national Freedom 250 initiative is a historic, once-in-a-generation opportunity to reflect on the founding principles of our country while rallying communities around the values that built our country and the American Dream. While every Freedom 250 event is unique, it is also part of a national movement to celebrate America and set the tone for our next 250 years.
Hundreds of events like the Freedom Truck visits will take place all around the country, including at overseas locations, as a part of our year-long celebration. Information on all these events will be made available on the Department of War's Freedom 250 spotlight page.
