Celebrate America’s 250th birthday the Kansas way! The limited-edition Kansas 250 Gift Box is now available for order through the From the Land of Kansas state trademark program at the Kansas Department of Agriculture.

On July 4, 2026, the United States will commemorate its Semiquincentennial, marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Kansans will honor this milestone by reflecting on both the triumphs and the challenges faced by those who settled and shaped the Heartland.

A purchase of the Kansas 250 Gift Box supports Kansas farmers and Kansas-based businesses. One dollar from each gift box sold will be used to promote the Kansas 250 events and programming. Find more about those events and the Kansas 250 celebration at www.America250KS.com.
