This summer Albany County swore in a Commission to plan for the 250 Anniversary of the birth of the USA. The Commission will spend the next few years planning the local celebration. It has a lot to work with given the county’s rich Revolutionary War history and numerous historic sites including a number in New Scotland. A Commission member will discuss its early planning, how the 250th Anniversary celebration may be different than the 1976 Bicentennial, how citizens and local historical association can get involved, as well as other relevant topics.
