Opening Sunday, April 26, 2026!  The Historical Society of Rockland County presents its newest exhibition, “Rockland and the Revolution – A 250th Anniversary Exploration!” On view April 29-October 25, 2026.  Wednesdays-Fridays & Sundays. On July 4, 1774, prominent men disaffected with colonial administration and taxation, gathered in Tappan to adopt the Orangetown Resolutions, a document that contained the seeds of the principles that later would be embodied in the Declaration of Independence.  In this special Semiquincentennial exhibition, we take a close look at Rockland and the Revolutionary War, often through the eyes of the local historians who since the 19th century have been shedding light on little-known people and incidents that helped form the nation we celebrate today.  CLICK HERE for more information.
