New Haven Bicentennial Commission

History

The New Haven Bicentennial Commission was created in April of 1971 by Mayor ·Bartholomew F. Guida and went out of existence ori August 31, 1976. w. Ogden Ross was appointed Chairman of the Commission and in 1973 J .'Lene Mayo joined as Executive Director. The purpose of the Commission was to formulate and· coordinate plans for New Haven's participation in the 200th Anniversary of the American Revolution. The first group of its type in Connecticut, the Commission stimulated an awareness of New Haven's significant contribution to the struggle for independence and the development of American democracy. Fifteen regional towns and cities together with representatives from local civic, cultural and educational organizations, as well as business and industry formed the New Haven Bicentennial Regional Commission to report and exchange ideas. The New Haven Bicentennial Commission cooperated with various institutions such as , the New Haven Colony Historical Society, the New Haven Afro- American Society, and others in their contributions to the Bicentennial celebration. The : commission was ~ responsible for a number of significant publica tions and issued a c omme mo rative me dal l i on. I t sponsored numerous events: Powder House Day, 1975 & 1976; Bicentennial Parade; July 4th Celebration; 18th Century Day; New World Festival; Harbor Side Festival; Pageant '76; American Issues Forum, and others. It operated a Bicentennial Visitors Center and since .. l973 published a Newsletter. During the Bicent~nnial · the tower of the New Haven City Hall was reconstructed as well as Black Rock Fort. An archeological excavation at the Eli Whitney ·gun factory site was supported.
