In honor of the US Navy’s 250th birthday on October 13th, please join us at the Panida Theater on Oct 14th for a screen of a documentary and a discussion; Anchors of Freedom: Celebrating America250 and America’s Sagebrush Navy. This event brings together communities across North Idaho to honor the intertwined histories of America’s maritime heritage and Idaho’s unique naval legacy. These events will celebrate America250, the semi-quincentennial celebration of the country’s founding through film, discussion, and community engagement. Each evening features a tailored program that elevates both local and national stories of service, innovation, and patriotism.

This event is brought to you by a coalition of cultural, educational, and media organizations, including Idaho Public Television, the Idaho State Historical Society, the USS Idaho Commissioning Committee, the University of Idaho, the Museum of North Idaho, the Coeur d’Alene Public Library, and the West Bonnor Library District.
