That would start in about 1776 if you want to be strict about it but there was a European culture in the area now known as the USA a couple of hundred years before that so you might want to go back that far. Then of course you could look back further with non-European cultures including those in Hawaii, American Samoa, Alaska, the American Virgin Islands, etc. There is another word in your question that could lead to different answers and that is "history". History is usually held to begin in a culture when we recognise writing existed in the culture that we may use today in some way to understand the culture. There was certainly a history from the first European cultures/settlement but I'm not sure about when writing started in the pre-European cultures.

The US is a microcosm of the whole world. Everybody from everywhere and their dog moved here. In that sense, the culture is as old as all other world cultures.

In terms of world history, it's quite young and still learning.

Early culture from previous advanced civilizations contribute to the U.S.A.'s motley mix of ethnicity.

Since U.S.A. has been looked upon to lead the world, it is hoped that U.S.A. takes a serious view of world conditions and makes progress in the areas of preservation so that future generations won't grow to despise U.S.A.

Kind of fuzzy really.

It's atleast as old as when the pilgrims settled here.
But do you want to include the settling of doomed Jamestown?
Or do you want to include the indians who lived here before that?

So fuzzy...
