America250 Tooele
Our community is proud to participate in America250, a national initiative leading up to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. This nonpartisan effort, led by the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission, invites all Americans to reflect on our nation's past, honor those who have shaped it, and look ahead to the future we want to create.
We kicked off our local involvement during our 2025 Fourth of July celebration, themed "250 Years Protecting Freedom." This week-long event marked the beginning of what we hope will be many programs and activities celebrating our City’s unique place in America’s story.
As we look toward July 4, 2026, we invite everyone to join in this historic journey.
Stay tuned for more updates on America250 events in our City!
Tooele 250 Community Challenges
Tooele 250 is a series of community challenges celebrating America’s 250th anniversary while encouraging residents to get involved, stay active, and give back to Tooele City. The challenges are simple, flexible, and inclusive—everyone can participate in ways that fit their interests and schedule. You can take part in as many activities as you like—serve, walk, swim, golf, or do a little of everything. Every contribution helps the community reach a shared goal of 250.
Log your activity as you go; multiple submissions are encouraged. QR codes will be posted at various Tooele City locations for easy access to the online forms. Once an activity reaches 250, participants will be entered into a prize drawing. To be eligible, you must be a Tooele City resident.
