As a licensee, the association says it has created a comprehensive product line to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary in 2026. All licensed America250 sales items will receive national-level review and approval. Parks and cooperating associations will retain authority to determine if America250 items will be carried at their stores. “To mark the upcoming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and other America’s 250th events, we’re excited to introduce the first set of America’s 250 collectibles,” Eastern National shares in a press release. “Featuring a bold ribbon sticker in red, white and blue, a vibrant pop art decal featuring ‘July 4th, 1776’ and a handcrafted ceramic mug with the America250 medallion, these special items reflect the impact that the American Revolution had on the founding of a nation. This is just the beginning, as more America’s 250th commemorative items are on the way.” Eastern National says it plans to release a full catalog of America250 products available to all cooperating associations and will send out additional information about the licensed products. Eastern National is a 501(c)3 nonprofit cooperating association, supporting the interpretive, educational and scientific programs and services of the National Park Service. The association partners with more than 170 of the nation’s cultural, historical and recreational destinations in 33 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, operating with park stores and donating proceeds from every sale to its partners. |
