The Bicentennial connection

The 1976 Bicentennial turned Revolutionary imagery into posters, coins, advertising, school programs, parades, and local celebrations. That memory is still alive for many older Americans.

Useful local project

Ask residents to bring 1976 programs, photos, pins, newspapers, school assignments, and parade materials for scanning or display.
