Lead-up to a Nation (1768-1776)
At Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers, we feel like we’re stepping onto the field for our very own Super Bowl—only this time, the stakes are historical! As we begin the 12-month countdown to the 250th anniversary of the United States of America, we are honored to be part of this extraordinary moment in time.
To commemorate this milestone in our nation’s story—the anniversary of the greatest experiment in democracy and self-government—we’re thrilled to launch a special series that brings the past to life. Starting this month, and several Fridays each month between now and the official anniversary on July 4, 2026, we will highlight pivotal pre-Independence Day events exactly as they were covered in the printed news of the day.
As the year progresses, we’ll also shine a spotlight on the U.S. Constitution, the remarkable framework that has kept our Republic “between the bumper rails” for nearly 250 years. And of course, we’ll celebrate We The People and the visionary Founding Fathers whose bold leadership helped lay the foundation for a new nation.
As George Washington so aptly stated in his very first State of the Union Address in 1790, “The establishment of our new Government seemed to be the last great experiment for promoting human happiness.” We at Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers are proud to honor that enduring legacy—and we would be delighted if you would join in the celebration.
