The American Semiquincentennial 1776-2026
Throughout the year American Objects will be releasing custom illustrations, limited merchandise in partnership with American manufacturers, and important historic objects with direct ties to the country's founding and development. The workshop and studio are in a house built in 1776 and American Objects' home state, New. Hampshire, also gained its statehood in 1776. 2026 is a big year here at American Objects and Baldwin.us!

WE ARE 250 and WE ARE ONE.™
“We Are One” was one of America’s first mottos adorning flags, currency, coinage, and broadsides—encouraging union amidst the fight for freedom in the face of a common enemy. After 250 years, it’s a calling and a call to action that we are still working towards and a reminder of what these United States was born out of.
2026 marks 250 years of the United States becoming an independent nation. History can bring US together and we need that now just like we did in 1776 and beyond. The founding fathers and mothers and explorers and builders and makers knew this too. Hopefully American history itself can be a barometer for how we can grow together and leave a lasting mark that the generation in another 250 years can look back proudly on.
