Honoring the Past. Celebrating the Present.

Inspiring the Future.

In 2026, Caroline County joins communities across Maryland and the nation in commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States. Caroline 250 is a countywide celebration of the people, places, and stories that shaped our history and continue to define our community today.

From local heritage and culture to education, the arts, and civic engagement, Caroline 250 highlights the many ways Caroline County has contributed to the American story. This commemoration is an opportunity to reflect on our shared past, recognize the voices and experiences that shaped it, and invite residents and visitors alike to take part in meaningful events and programs throughout the year.
