- Authors
Halliday, Samantha Dutches
- Abstract
The article discusses the commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the advent of democracy in Dutchess County, New York, by the 300th Anniversary Dutchess Heritage Days Committee. After outlining important historical events in Dutchess County, including the county's political separation from Ulster County, New York, in 1713 and the recording of taxes in 1717, the author provides details for various commemorative events. These include a student essay-writing contest, a celebration of the county's first election, and a series of speakers. The involvement of county historian William P. Tatum III in the commemorations is emphasized.
