1776-1976: From Democracy to Disco Exhibition

About this event

In 1976 America was set to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence - and Orangetown was ready. With significant revolutionary roots - from the signing of the Orangetown Resolutions, Washington's headquarters at the DeWint House, Molly Sneden's ferry, Maj. John Andre's trial and hanging to Sir Guy Carlton's tribute to the new republic- we were where history happened. As we prepare for the nation's Semiquincentennial - the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, looking back From Democracy to Disco can serve as a blueprint for the future.
