Road to 250 is about making this milestone accessible to every Arizonan, said Arizona's
Secretary of State Adrian Fonest, chair of the Arizona America 250 Commission.
By traveling to communities across the state, this museum invites people to reflect on our
shared history, celebrate Arizona's role in America's story, and consider how each of us
contributes to the next chapter of our democracy.
Road to 250, Arizona Traveling Museum blends national history with Arizona's unique story through
immersive panels, a short-looping video experience, and interactive activations for all ages.
The exhibit explores defining moments in American history alongside the people, cultures,
and communities that shaped Arizona, while inviting visitors to participate by sharing
their own stories through the Dear America, Love Arizona Postcard activity.
Select stops may feature additional activations from municipal hosts and community partners,
including Banner Health.
Banner Health is proud to celebrate the resilience of the United States as the presenting

showing up every day with compassion and dedication to care for people across Arizona.
The centerpiece of the traveling museum is a replica of the Liberty Bell, one of a limited number
located across the country. The Bell, which typically resides at the Arizona State Capitol,
will travel aboard the museum as a powerful symbol of freedom, independence, and civic responsibility,
offering visitors across the state a rare opportunity to experience this iconic representation of America's
founding ideals up close. Road to 250, Arizona Traveling Museum will make dozens of stops statewide,
