Starting this year and for the next two years, Vermont and the entire United States will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the "Revolutionary War period". At the request of Governor Scott, the Shelburne Selectboard, along with many Vermont towns, signed a resolution to commemorate the Revolutionary War and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Shelburne Historical Society volunteered to help coordinate activities to celebrate this period of our history.
We hope to engage members of our community from all cultural backgrounds and of all ages in these events. We want to tap into the energy of people of our community with visual artistic skills, as well as writers, musicians -- along with you history buffs!
The first step is to form an organizing committee that will help coordinate different activities. If you are interested in being part of this committee, please answer this post or email me at the Shelburne Historical Society, shelburne1763@gmail.com.
Go to the Anniversary250.vermont.gov, the Vermont 250th Anniversary Website which includes additional links to Vermont 250th YouTube Videos, Outreach Webinars and Classroom Resources for the 250th Anniversary.
