Arcadia’s mission to connect people with their past, their communities and one another aligns with the goals of the US Semiquincentennial Commission to educate, engage and unite us through a broad telling of American history.
Arcadia is excited to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation. American history is the connective thread that explains our present and indicates our future.
Arcadia partners with historians and organizations to produce local and regional non-fiction books that constitute an expansive understanding of our country’s story.
The past has shaped places we live and visit and informs our appreciation of culture, natural resources and public spaces. Understanding diverse perspectives changes how we think about becoming a more perfect union.
We hope our expanding catalog of more than 22,000 titles inspires participation in shaping this evolving American experiment.
Arcadia has a wide selection of 250th Anniversary titles for Ohio and each of the other 49 states in the USA.
