Pennsylvania Lights the Way in National Semiquincentennial Tribute

Pennsylvania joined states across the country in lighting up
landmarks, homes, and civic spaces as part of Two Lights for Tomorrow, a national initiative
marking the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's historic ride and the dawn of America's journey
toward independence.
Inspired by that original lantern signal, Two Lights for Tomorrow invited Americans- at home,
at visitor centers, at cultural and historical sites, in community spaces, and in government
buildings--to display two lights as a collective gesture of reflection and recommitment to a
brighter, more unified future. In Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania Capitol was illuminated to
mark the occasion.
