Celebrate America 250

   Revolutionary Charleston is a grass-roots, volunteer organization dedicated to promoting and showcasing Charleston’s leadership role in the War for American Independence - "From First Protest to Final Victory". 

   Alternately referred to as "Charleston 250", we serve as ambassadors for America's 250th Anniversary Revolutionary activities in Charleston. 

  Founded in 2018 by legacy historical organizations  and scholars in this former state-capital city, we seek to build Charleston's Revolutionary heritage tourism infrastructure by: 

* collaboratively recognizing and showcasing Charleston's heroes, people, places, and events that helped win American Independence;

* meeting with visiting historians and dignitaries to provide RevWar history touchpoints and overview briefings;

* promoting scholarly research and symposiums; 

* facilitating public, institutional, and tourist awareness of Charleston's major role in the War for American Independence;

* facilitating the building and showcasing  of Charleston's road-to-independence infrastructure;

* facilitating, fostering, promoting, and advising Revolutionary programs and events (like the Michael Kovats Tricentennial Commemoration with The Hungary Foundation);  

* bringing together historical and arts organizations, scholars, tourism organizations, and sister-city America 250 organizations to showcase and promote Charleston's great revolutionary stories that engage all ages; 

* cooperatively building road-to-independence education programs, and infrastructure that lasts beyond America's 250th Anniversary; 

 * coordinating with other America 250 city organizations on partner programs, artifact and scholar exchange, and enhancing their southern theater displays;

 * cooperatively "hardwiring" Charleston's great Revolutionary War history into the city's heritage tourism culture;

 * building the Revolutionary Charleston city-brand to put Charleston on the War for American Independence destination roadmap.

   Charleston has been designated by the US Congress as one of the four America 250th Anniversary showcase cities to visit "that witnessed the assertion of American Independence"  (HR4875, US Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016).
