Read the Wisconsin State Journal's special section on the nation's bicentennial in 1976

  • Apr 21, 2026
  • 13 hrs ago

On June 26, 1976 the Wisconsin State Journal published a four-part special section in honor of the country's 200th birthday. As the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we wanted to take another look at the work done by the State Journal's team of writers and photographers back then.
