Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy recently appointed the Alaska Historical Commission to serve as Alaska's coordinating entity in planning the state's commemorative activities for the Semiquincentennial in 2026. In collaboration with America250 – the official nonpartisan initiative working to engage every American in celebrating and commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence – the America250-Alaska Task Force will work to honor the unique history, traditions, and contributions of the state while embracing the shared values and aspirations of the American people.
