New York State 250th Commission  

NYS 250th Commission Events

From 2025-2033, the Nation will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the events of the American Revolution. New York State played a central role in many of those events. The NYS 250th act was sponsored by Senator Shelley B. Mayer and Assemblymember Carrie Woerner, and is part of a national effort to commemorate the founding of the United States. The bill creates a thirteen-member commission co-chaired by the Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the Commissioner of the Department of Education, or their designees, and includes the New York State Historian as well as stakeholders from across the state with knowledge of history, historic preservation and tourism. The commission is expected to support and facilitate local efforts by heritage organizations, municipalities and others in commemorative planning and programs.

​There is a focus on the narratives and ensuing struggles of women, people of African descent and indigenous people, whose freedoms and rights after the American Revolution were far from complete.

The New York State Semiquincentennial Commission seeks to establish a commemorative plan and promote the programs and events that are being planning by local historical societies and historic locales.
