In February 2022 Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law an amendment to the 2021 law establishing the “New York State Two Hundredth Commemoration Act”. The purpose of the bill to establish a commission to facilitate the planning and development of the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in New York State.

Tourism, Parks & Recreation and Cultural Affair programs across the state are to find and promote attractions that highlight the American Revolution as well as other significant movements that transpired in New York State’s History.

“New York State played a pivotal role in the American Revolution, and we look forward to welcoming people from all over the world to join us in commemorating the 250th anniversary in 2026,” - Governor Hochul
