America's 250th birthday will be on July 4, 2026, and Granby has decided to create our own local committee to plan a celebration. This committee will plan a celebration for the whole Town to enjoy.
We urge all community members to take advantage of the resources available from the America 250 Commission, the Connecticut Semiquincentennial Commission, and the Town of Granby America 250 Committee to observe the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence by coordinating commemorative events, planning historical activities, providing opportunities for public discourse, creating new scholarship around Connecticut’s complete history, creating new educational opportunities, and by seeking opportunities for historic preservation. The Town of Granby pledges to uplift, support, and generate commemorative opportunities.
