America is turning 250, and there’s no better place to celebrate than the Adirondack Coast—a region that helped shape our nation’s story! From the Revolutionary War to the Battle of Plattsburgh in 1814, our area has been at the heart of America’s fight for independence and freedom.
While the big bash—complete with battle reenactments, historic tours, and immersive events—is set for October 11, 2026, we’re not waiting that long to get the celebration started.
Local museums, historical societies, and cultural organizations are already rolling out a lineup of special lectures, hands-on activities, pop-up exhibits, and mini events that bring our shared history to life in fresh and exciting ways. Think of it as a two-year-long warmup to the main event—and you're invited every step of the way!
Whether you're a history buff, a curious road tripper, or just here for the cannon blasts and colonial garb, there’s plenty to discover and even more to do.
