On July 4, 2026, the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Moments That Made US explores the how generations of Americans have interpreted and shaped the ideals expressed in the Declaration.
Bringing this nationwide conversation to the Inland Empire, Moments That Made US is organized around five themes drawn directly from the Declaration: Created Equal; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; Free and Independent States; Consent of the Governed; and We Mutually Pledge. Through these themes, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the people, events, decisions, that shaped the United States. Together, these stories reveal that the nation’s history was never inevitable—it has always been shaped by the choices of its people.
Developed through a multistate collaboration for America 250, Moments That Made US adapts the acclaimed exhibition created by History Colorado while connecting local history to the broader American experience.
