The 250th anniversary quilt is more than a symbol celebrating the nation’s semiquincentennial birthday in 2026.

The quilt, being crafted by members of the Lebanon Quilters Guild , is a celebration of Lebanon County’s community. It also celebrates a craft that was essential to clothing residents who fought for and founded the nation.

Guild and 250th committee member Jan Morrissey said it’s important for Lebanon countians to have a hand in helping to sew the quilt.

“America250 is a country community thing. We just don’t want to show something. We want the community to be involved in it and say that they added a stitch or two and were a part of the local history of America250, the semiquincentennial of Lebanon County,” Morrissey said.
