The year 2026 marks the 250th Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence—a milestone that invites us to rediscover America’s origins and the stories that shaped our nation. To commemorate this historic occasion, the Suffolk County 250th Commemorative Planning Committee, commissioned by County Executive Edward P. Romaine, has created a special 250th Passport Book. This keepsake book invites residents and visitors alike to explore Long Island’s Revolutionary War sites, 18th-century landmarks, special exhibits and events in Suffolk and Nassau counties. This book is available print-on-demand and is sold at the minimal and non-profit price. An alternate version is available as a free pdf download from the www.suffolk250.org website or on the Suffolk250 App!

Travel through Long Island's historic towns, visit participating museums and heritage sites throughout 2026, and collect a unique commemorative stamp at each stop. When complete, your passport becomes both a personal souvenir and a symbol of America's 250th Anniversary.
