This evening, Culpeper, VA will be participating in Two Lights for Tomorrow, a nationwide initiative launching the commemoration of America’s 250th Anniversary, on April 18 and 19, 2025. 🕯️ 🕯️

This inspiring event calls on citizens across the country to display two lights as a symbol of unity and collective purpose, honoring the historic ride of Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott on the night of April 18–19, 1775.

Two Lights for Tomorrow is a nationwide initiative commemorating the 250th birthday of the United States of America. Two Lights for Tomorrow originated out of multi-state collaboration at “A Common Cause to All” in Williamsburg and uses the imagery of that shining light 250 years ago as a uniting call to action today for our fellow citizens, no matter where they are, to commemorate and remind ourselves that our history is about working together for a better tomorrow.

We will be displaying two lanterns in our visitor center windows tonight, and the LOVE sign will shine amber, like the light from a lantern. We invite you to join us! Display your lanterns, candles, or any other light you have to shine the light of endeavoring to create a more perfect union.

Share your light display in the comments below!
