Please join the Village of Lindenhurst in celebrating America’s 250th anniversary at Lindenhurst Liberty Day on July 11th from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM!
The event kicks off at 12:00 PM at Village Square Park with a live reading of the Declaration of Independence, a George Washington costume contest for kids and adults, and family-friendly crafts and games.
From 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, a Colonial Crawl Walking History Tour will take place throughout downtown Lindenhurst. Participating businesses will each represent a different time period in American history, with docents stationed at each
stop sharing information about national events during that era and how they connected to life here in Lindenhurst. The first 250 attendees will receive a commemorative sash and a themed pin at each stop. Patriotic dress and costumes are encouraged – come dressed as your favorite decade!
From 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation
“Revisit the Revolution” traveling exhibit will be on display at the Knights of Columbus building, located just a few shorts blocks from the downtown at 185 North Broadway. This exhibit explores the role of New York in the
American Revolution, including some specially curated artifacts used during the war.
To close out the day, Robert Fantel Music will perform a concert in Village Square Park from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM.
Mayor Michael Lavorata says, “Lindenhurst Liberty Day is a unique opportunity for residents and visitors of all ages to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary while exploring the people, places, and stories that have shaped both America and our local community. Join us for an afternoon of history, music, family fun, and hometown pride as we commemorate this historic milestone together.”


The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in American history. On July 1, 1776, delegates from the 13 colonies met in Philadelphia to vote on independence from Britain. After debate, 12 of the 13 colonies approved the measure. In honor of those delegates, here are 12 facts about the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration was officially adopted on July 4, 1776, though most delegates signed it on August 2. John Dickinson and Robert R. Livingston never signed the document.
John Dunlap was the official printer of Congress at the time. He worked all night and into the morning of July 5 to produce the large, single-sided sheet, known as a broadside. About 200 copies of Dunlap’s broadside were made.
The University of Virginia owns two rare early printings of the Declaration, including one believed to have belonged to George Washington.
Benjamin Franklin, George Read, Roger Sherman, Robert Morris, George Clymer, and James Wilson signed both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were hidden at Fort Knox during World War II, two weeks after Pearl Harbor was attacked.
Contrary to the movie “National Treasure,” the writing on the back of the Declaration is visible and simply identifies the document.
Signer Richard Stockton later renounced his support for the Revolution after being captured by the British.
In 1989, an original Dunlap Broadside purchased for $4 at a flea market was later sold for $8.1 million. Only 26 original copies are known to exist.
Americans celebrate Independence Day on July 4, even though independence was approved on July 2.
The Declaration was not immediately embraced by everyone, and political divisions delayed widespread celebration of its anniversary.
Congress nearly forgot the first anniversary in 1777, organizing a July 4 celebration only at the last minute.
John Trumbull’s famous painting “Declaration of Independence” in the U.S. Capitol depicts the drafting committee presenting the document, not the actual signing.










































The year 1776 was a defining moment in American history. As the Revolutionary War unfolded, a series of events helped shape the future of what would become the United States.
• January 10: Thomas Paine publishes Common Sense in Philadelphia. Initially released anonymously, the 47-page pamphlet argued for independence from Great Britain and inspired many colonists to support the Revolutionary cause. Paine’s clear, accessible writing helped spread revolutionary ideas beyond political leaders to ordinary citizens.
• February 27: The Battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge takes place near Wilmington, North Carolina. Loyalist forces stormed across a bridge and attacked men they believed to be rebels, but Patriot forces quickly prevailed. The defeat weakened British efforts to recruit loyalist support in the region.
• May 6–July 5: The Fifth Virginia Convention meets in Williamsburg. The Patriot legislature ultimately declares Virginia an independent state and adopts the Virginia Declaration of Rights, a landmark document that affirmed individual liberties and the people’s authority to reform or replace inadequate government.
• June 28: Thomas Hickey becomes the first person executed by the Continental Army after being convicted of mutiny, sedition, and treachery. A member of General George Washington’s guard, Hickey was implicated in an alleged conspiracy that may have included a plot to assassinate Washington.
• July 14: Increased violence on the Kentucky frontier leads to the capture of Jemima Boone and the Callaway sisters. Days later, Daniel Boone led a successful rescue mission. The dramatic episode later became part of American folklore and inspired scenes in early American literature.

• September 20–21: The Great Fire of New York destroys as much as one-quarter of the city’s buildings in lower Manhattan. The fire broke out shortly after British forces occupied New York City. Although each side blamed the other for
starting the blaze, historians generally believe it likely began accidentally and spread rapidly due to strong winds and closely packed buildings.
























When buying a child’s first bike, shoppers should prioritize a bike that is lightweight, which will be easier for the child to maneuver while learning. The general rule of thumb is to find a bike that weighs less than one-third of the child’s overall weight. Choose a bike that has minimal features, and opt for models that have a single gear and no complex braking systems. The child should be able to comfortably straddle the bike with their feet flat on the ground, and the seat height should be set where the child’s legs are slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke. According to BikeExchange. com, the first bike a child owns likely will feature 12-inch tires and will often come with optional training wheels. Children between the ages of two and five may progress to 14-inch tires and then increase that size as they grow and gain experience. Although it can be less expensive to purchase a child’s bike at a big box retailer, more personalized service is often available at local retailers that specialize in bikes.

Millions of Americans will spend some time in 2026 commemorating 250 years of United States history. The U.S. turns 250 in July 2026, and the summer figures to be an especially celebratory time across the 50 states.
As Americans engage with their nation’s history, they might be compelled to learn more about their personal history as well. Genealogy has become a popular pastime in the twenty-first century, and the National Archives offers these tips to anyone looking to do some digging into their personal history as they celebrate 250 years of the United States.
• Start with yourself. The National Archives recommends starting with the person you know best: yourself. Your own personal details can serve as a starting point as you work toward more unknown facets of your family history. After you note all of your own details, learn and document all you can about your parents and then do the same in relation to your grandparents.
• Emphasize four vital components. The National Archive notes that names, dates, places, and relationships are the tools of the family researcher. That’s because these nuggets of information have long been used to identify people in public records.

• Peruse any existing family archives. Many families have kept their own archives over the years, even if that record-keeping was not widely known within a family. A relative might have kept various types of documents that help to paint a picture of your genealogy. Ask around in the family to see if anyone has kept records, which might include:
- Newspaper clippings
- Birth and death certificates
- Military certificates
- Marriage licenses
- Letters
- Diaries

- Photographs/photo books
- Scrapbooks
• Let others know. Inform family members near and far that you’re working on a genealogy project. A relative might have beaten you to it, and that person could have lots of valuable information and documents to share. Others might be able to point you toward a relative who has become the unofficial family historian. In addition, cousins and aunts and uncles might have records from their own immediate families, which can help you as you conduct your own research.
• Access government records. The U.S. federal census dates all the way back to 1790, which makes it a potentially excellent source of information for your project. State and county archives also can be wonderful resources that keep records of births, deaths, marriages, and other notable events that can help people trace their family histories. Even local libraries might have records of your family, especially if your family has been settled in the same area for a significant amount of time.
American history might be the focal point in the United States in 2026. But that renewed emphasis on history also makes 2026 a great time to study your own family’s part in helping the nation make it to its 250th birthday.
FourLeaf Federal Credit Union and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are proud to announce the 2026 FourLeaf Air Show and Fireworks at Jones Beach, a three-day celebration of America’s 250th anniversary taking place over the Fourth of July
holiday weekend.
The celebration will begin on Saturday, July 4, with the FourLeaf America 250 Fireworks at Jones Beach, followed by the FourLeaf Air Show on Sunday, July 5 and Monday, July 6. Together, the events will create one of New York State’s signature Semiquincentennial
celebrations, bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to Jones Beach for a weekend honoring the nation’s history, military service and spirit of independence.
As announced by Governor Kathy Hochul as part of New York State’s America 250 commemoration, the special holiday weekend will combine two of Long Island’s most anticipated summer traditions - the FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach, one of the nation’s most preeminent air shows and a cherished Long Island institution, and a spectacular beachfront fireworks display - for a once in a generation celebration.
The FourLeaf America 250 Fireworks on July 4 will feature a 25-minute fireworks display by Garden State Fireworks beginning at 9:30 p.m.
Spectators will enjoy vibrant colors and a musical array of patriotic songs. WALK 97.5 FM and KJOY-98.3 will also offer listeners a live simulcast of the show.
The celebration continues with a truly extraordinary international salute to America’s 250th anniversary at the FourLeaf Air Show on July 5 and 6. Returning to Long Island for their 11th headliner performance, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will be joined by distinguished military demonstration teams from Canada and the United Kingdom. This historic international collaboration will create a display unlike anything previously seen at Jones Beach and one of the most distinctive air show lineups ever presented in the United States.
The 2026 lineup includes the first-ever New York appearance of the Royal Air Force Red Arrows, one of the world’s most renowned aerial demonstration teams, and the return of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds to Long Island for the first time since 2018. Also joining the celebration from the United Kingdom will be the British Army Parachute Display Team – Red Devils. Additional U.S. military performers include the United States
Army Golden Knights, the 106th Rescue Wing, and the 105th Airlift Wing featuring the C-17 Globemaster III flyover.
“The 2026 FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach will be one of the most memorable events in our history as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary right here on Long Island,” said Linda Armyn, President and CEO of FourLeaf Federal Credit Union. “From the Blue

Angels soaring overhead to the fireworks over Jones Beach on Independence Day, this special weekend will celebrate the spirit of our nation and bring families together for an unforgettable tribute to American pride and tradition.”
Civilian teams set to perform include current reigning Air Masters Cup Series champion and current Sky Grand Prix Champion, Aarron Deliu; the American Airpower Museum Warbirds; and the Farmingdale State College Flying Rams.

As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, Americans are reflecting on the people, events, and turning points that helped shape the nation. The following are among the most significant moments in U.S. history:
“This special Fourth of July weekend will transform Jones Beach into one of New York’s signature destinations for America’s Semiquincentennial celebration,” said George Gorman, Regional Director of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. “With the Blue Angels returning, international performers joining the lineup, and our annual fireworks spectacular lighting up the shoreline, these will be the perfect events for families to celebrate our country’s history at one of Long Island’s most iconic locations.”

The FourLeaf Air Show App is now available for 2026, newly redesigned to keep users in the know about all the events lined up to celebrate America’s 250th this Fourth of July weekend.

• The Louisiana Purchase (1803): One of the most important land deals in history, the Louisiana Purchase nearly doubled the size of the United States. President Thomas Jefferson initially sought to purchase New Orleans and West Florida from France, but Napoleon Bonaparte instead offered the entire Louisiana Territory for $15 million. The acquisition added more than 530 million acres to the young nation and opened vast areas of North America to exploration and settlement.
• The Monroe Doctrine (1823): During his annual address to Congress, President James Monroe warned European powers against further colonization or interference in the Western Hemisphere. The statement, later known as the Monroe Doctrine, declared that the Americas were no longer open to European expansion while also pledging that the United States would avoid involvement in European affairs. The doctrine became a key principle of American foreign policy for generations.
• The Sinking of the Lusitania (1915): The British passenger liner Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland, killing nearly 1,200 people, including more than 120 Americans. Although the United States remained neutral at the time, the attack increased tensions between the U.S. and Germany and fueled anti-German sentiment. The incident helped shape public opinion in the years leading up to America’s entry into World War I in 1917.
• Wall Street crashes on Black Monday (1929): The stock market crash that began in October 1929 marked an end to the financial boom of the 1920s that the Federal Reserve notes had begun in August 1921 and lasted until September 1929. On what’s become known to historians as Black Monday (October 28, 1929), the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by nearly 13 percent, a fall that preceded an almost 12 percent decline on the following day. By the summer of 1932, th Dow had fallen to its lowest value of the twentieth century and 89 percent below its peak. Black Monday marked the beginning of the Great Depression, and the Federal Reserve notes the Dow did not return to its pre-crash heights until 1954.
