US EditionAmerica will celebrate its 250th birthday next year. There’s a commemorative ornament for it
The ornament, trimmed in 24-karat gold and priced at $26.95, aims to foster unity during the 250th anniversary, according to America250.org officials.
- On Monday, America250.org unveiled a limited-edition keepsake produced with the White House Historical Association to mark the semiquincentennial.
- Organizers say the project aims to unite a politically divided country, while Jennifer Condon, executive vice president of America250.org, called it a moment to reflect on 250 years and the future.
- One side of the ornament features the Declaration of Independence printed on linen, and the piece is hand-crafted by a veteran-owned Rhode Island company trimmed in 24-karat gold, sold exclusively at America250.org for $26.95 starting Monday.
- Given the White House Historical Association's track record of more than 1 million annual sales, Stewart McLaurin said his nonprofit helped create a collector’s piece that embodies the nation’s spirit, and it is rare for the group to release an ornament outside its holiday series.
- Tied to next year’s semiquincentennial, the ornament, displaying 1776-2026, is hanging in the Oval Office, according to the White House Historical Association.
