A forum on the question: “How should Massachusetts celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2025/2026?” A panel of five leading local historians and preservationists will discuss how the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations impacted Massachusetts and explore ways that the Sestercentennial can celebrate our region, educate future generations, and preserve our national heritage.
Our nation’s 250th birthday is only ten years away. We know from the celebration of the Bicentennial forty years ago, that major milestones can bring major benefits to our region: strengthening our brand as a historic tourist destination, creating new education programs, preserving our national heritage sites and renewing our civic commitment to core values of freedom and liberty. We also know that years of advance planning are required to gather the civic and financial resources required to celebrate a major milestone.
Panelists: William Fowler, Northeastern University; Martha McNamara, Wellesley College; Robert Allison, Suffolk University; Greg Galer, Boston Preservation Alliance, Representative Byron Rushing.
Revolution250 is a consortium of Boston area historic sites, parks, libraries, historians, and others. More information at www.revolution250.org.
