A “Freedom Truck” will roll into Ocean City and be open to visitors from July 21 to July 23 as the United States celebrates its 250^th anniversary and Ocean City gets ready to celebrate its annual Night in Venice.

Freedom 250 is bringing one of its traveling mobile museums, known as “Freedom Trucks,” to Ocean City, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore the nation’s history through an interactive exhibit designed for all ages. Each custom-built mobile exhibit features museum-quality interactive technology, multimedia storytelling, and hands-on experiences that highlight America’s founding and defining chapters, as well as the innovation that continues to shape our nation’s future.

The Freedom Truck will be stationed in the municipal parking lot adjacent to the Ocean City Civic Center, just off the Boardwalk between Fifth Street and Sixth Street. It will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (July 21-23, 2026).

“America's 250th anniversary is a moment to reflect on where we've been and inspire the next generation of Americans,” Mayor Jay Gillian said. “We are proud to welcome the Freedom 250 Truck to Ocean City. We're making our nation's history accessible, especially for the many young families who will chart our future. It’s also a great addition to our annual Night in Venice celebrations.

The Freedom 250 Mobile Museum Tour will continue traveling nationwide throughout 2026. For additional information, visit Freedom250.org/freedom-truck. For more information on Night in Venice, visit ocnj.us/niv.
