Massachusetts joined seventeen other states in forming a commission to promote the commemoration of the American Revolution. The appropriations bill (H 4000) which Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed, also created the Massachusetts Commission on the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. The Massachusetts commission’s 35 members — leaders in the historical, cultural, tourism and political sectors — will partner with the other states and with the federal America 250 Commission to commemorate, celebrate and investigate the will and determination of the people 250 years ago who risked their “lives, liberty, and property” for the cause of American Independence.
