250 Anniversary Events for November 2025
Marine Corps Birthday Ball
Scheduled for November 8, 2025, at Hotel 1620 in Plymouth, this event celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps. While not directly related to the American Revolution, it is part of the broader 250th-anniversary celebrations.
Join Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edward Larson for a timely forum on his forthcoming book, Declaring Independence: Why 1776 Matters.
As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding, Larson offers a powerful reexamination of the ideas, debates, and military turning points that made independence possible. From Common Sense to the Declaration itself, and from Boston to Trenton, Larson explores how 1776 transformed colonial resistance into a revolutionary movement—and why its lessons remain urgent for America today.
