Shop.massachusetts250.org features apparel and accessories to commemorate 250th anniversary of American Revolution

Boston - In advance of Patriots’ Day weekend, the Healey-Driscoll Administration today announced the launch of the official online store for Massachusetts 250 merchandise, featuring apparel and accessories that invite residents and visitors to show off their revolutionary spirit and commemorate Massachusetts’s prominent role in American history.   

“Massachusetts 250 is more than a tribute to the past –it's a call to honor our incredible communities, highlight our state’s contributions to the nation’s founding, and create opportunities for future leaders,” said Governor Maura Healey. “With the opening of our store, we’re inviting everyone to join us in celebrating this legacy and wearing this merchandise that brings our history to life.”

“We may not be selling waistcoats, breeches and definitely no red coats, but there will be plenty of hats, hoodies and T-shirts to wear to re-enactments across the state,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “The shop offers everyone a chance to engage with and proudly wear the Massachusetts 250 brand — a way to show their love for Massachusetts while honoring our essential role in the American Revolution.”

Funds from the store will support marketing efforts for programs and attractions aligned with the Massachusetts 250 initiative that highlight the state’s rich history and heritage. Each item in the collection, from apparel designed for comfort in New England weather to commemorative keepsakes, provides a way for residents, visitors, and history enthusiasts to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

“At?massachusetts250.org, visitors can learn about ongoing efforts and discover resources on how to get involved,” said Executive Director at the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism Kate Fox. “The initiative emphasizes four main goals: honoring Massachusetts leadership in American history, ensuring an inclusive commemoration through local storytelling, engaging young people in meaningful activities, and unifying efforts statewide through collaborations with historical organizations, community groups, and educators.”
