Arizona America250 Commission announces Arizona Traveling Museum

FREDONIA, Ariz. — As Arizona commemo­rates America’s 250th anniversary, the Ari­zona America250 Com­mission announced today the Road to 250: Arizona Traveling Museum presented by Banner Health, a mo­bile exhibition that will tour all 15 counties, kicking off on February 14, 2026 in Prescott, the original capital of the Arizona Territory on Statehood Day.

Housed in a cus­tom-retrofitted trailer through MRA Mobile Experiential, the Ari­zona Traveling Mu­seum is designed to generate enthusiasm and civic pride in cel­ebration of the 250th milestone, bringing history, storytelling and civic reflection directly to cities, towns and rural communi­ties across the state. From Nogales to Page and everywhere in between, the stops will be added to the community calendar at america250az.org/events or follow on social media for latest information.

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.

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, partnering with local communi­ties libraries and civic organizations. Admis­sion is free and open to the public thanks to the generous sup­port of Banner Health, APS, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, SRP, Freeport McMo­ran and many other sponsors.
