Submit Your 250 Commemoration Event

I LOVE NY’s Path Through History program showcases New York State’s fascinating history. As our nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States we invite historic and heritage organizations across the state to submit events that explore the immense and vital role New York played in our country’s journey to independence and the subsequent 250 years of American history.

When submitting your event below be sure to select 250 Commemoration along with all other relevant event categories.

All events must meet the following criteria:

• The event should have a historical component beyond simply being featured at or by a historical site.
• Event submissions must include at least one high-quality image and a description of at least 250 characters. Please include relevant information pertaining to the 250th Commemoration.
• Attendees should expect to have a safe, fun, interesting, and/or educational experience.
• All in-person events must be held at sites/locations that are publicly accessible and legally operated according to all NYS and local tax, health, safety, zoning, and other codes, laws, and regulations.
• Examples of events excluded from Path Through History events listings include retail sales events; dinners, galas, benefit sales (like tag and bake sales) and other events geared primarily toward fundraising, without a prominent educational/historical component; semester-long classes; trade shows; and individual events within an already listed event.
• For the purposes of the Path Through History calendar, an event is defined as a unique offering lasting no more than 14 days total. For long term exhibits, consider adding this information to your attractions listing description. Please contact the Path Through History team for assistance if needed.

After clicking “submit” your event will be reviewed to ensure that it meets the criteria and contains all necessary information. The NYS Division of Tourism reserves the right to deny any event deemed inappropriate or inapplicable. For any questions regarding your submission please contact the PTH Team.
