America 250 NC will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution with wide-ranging activities across a multi-year commemoration beginning in April 2024. America 250 NC is a part of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources’ Division of Research and Publications, which fosters, promotes, and encourages the study and appreciation of state history through research, writing, and outreach. The division’s mission has several components, among them fact-finding, explication, storytelling, and commemoration, all in service to the collective memory of North Carolinians.

PBS North Carolina, the statewide PBS network serving the country’s third largest public media market, educates, informs, entertains and inspires the people of North Carolina through in-person engagement, digital content and four over-the-air channels: PBS NC, the North Carolina Channel, Rootle 24/7 PBS KIDS channel and Explorer Channel. Additionally, PBS North Carolina serves as the backbone for North Carolina’s state emergency services.

Dan Nance, a native Carolinian, has been fascinated with history all his life. Coming from a rich and storied heritage, he developed a passion for history from an early age. Visiting American Civil War battlefields instilled not only a deep respect, but an even deeper desire to tell those stories, both famous and anonymous. By honing his natural artistic talent and synthesizing that with his love for dramatic cinema, Nance was able to interpret what he saw and read to create profound images of American history. www.dannance.com
