We asked Dodgeville, Wisconsin, “What does it mean to you that America is celebrating its 250th anniversary?”

Thank you to the Dodgeville Public Library and the Iowa County Historical Society for helping us host community callout sessions for MyAmerica@250, a social media campaign designed to capture and amplify a variety of perspectives from Wisconsinites on what America’s 250th anniversary means to them.

MyAmerica@250 is a part of PBS Wisconsin and Wisconsin Public Radio’s larger America@250 Initiative, an exciting collaboration with the Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies, the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Wisconsin Veterans Museum to help communities connect and reflect on our shared history and the future of democracy.
