April 19, 2025, marks the 250th anniversary of the American Revolutionary War. Today’s mural honors the North Bridge in Concord, the spot of the “shot heard around the world.”
As the birthplace of the Revolution, Massachusetts is at the center of a national movement to acknowledge this historic moment. GBH’s America 250 efforts have four pillars: Convening, Content, Collaboration, and Community. Anchoring our America 250 initiative is the content planned across every GBH program. With partners in Boston and across the Commonwealth, we are creating multi-platform content that connects to themes embedded in the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence. Explore the collection as it evolves from now until July 2026 and beyond.
