The next Thelma Rogers Genealogical and Historical Society’s free, public program will reveal some of the local plans for the 250th Anniversary Celebration for the United States coming up in 2026.
The program will take place at 6 p.m., Sept 10, in the Monday Club Room at the David A. Howe Library in Wellsville where Joan Sinclair, Honorary Regent of the Catherine Schuyler Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Co-Chair of the local America 250th Committee will show a PowerPoint program and discuss the Chapter’s ‘Our Revolutionary Cookbook’.
This illustrated, one of a kind book which includes a list of local patriots, some bios, maps and factoids was created to help fund the cost of a monument to be placed in Angelica. The monument will honor the patriots who lived or settled in what would become Allegany County. The cookbook is on sale now from any member of the DAR and will be available at the Sept. 10th program.
Sinclair said, “The program will focus on the chapter’s semiquincentennial celebration plans and will provide information about the resources that the DAR has available to share with other organizations.”
She will be joined by Deborah Snyder, also an Honorary Chapter Regent of the Catherine Schuyler Chapter, who is the State Chair for Constitution Week and past chapter chair of this committee. She will discuss the Constitution and how it is being honored. Constitution Day Sept. 17th. 2025 commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787, recognizing all who are born in the U.S. or by naturalization and have become citizens.
Please come out and enjoy this free program and find out what’s happening.
