Statehood Day

Join us for our celebration of Ohio Statehood Day this year at the Ohio Statehouse: From Statehood to Semiquincentennial!

Ohio Statehood Day 2026 marks more than 223 years of history—it bridges our founding as the 17th state in 1803 to the nation’s 250th anniversary. This theme invites Ohioans to reflect on the state’s pioneering role in shaping America and to look forward to the innovations and ideas that will define our future. It’s a celebration of heritage, progress and the enduring spirit that connects Ohio to the heart of the nation.

There is no cost to register, but please RSVP on the Statehood Day webpage.
