Creating a New Government for New York: The Road to Senate House and the 1777 Constitution
Today is the anniversary of the signing of the first New York State Constitution, right here in Kingston! Visit the museum for a tour, participate in a quill pen writing activity, grab a copy of the original 1777 NYS Constitution, and learn more about this foundational document.
Then, join us at 5:30pm at Senate House Museum for a brief talk ““Creating a New Government for New York: The Road to Senate House and the 1777 Constitution”. The presentation will trace the development of the 1777 Constitution through to its ratification and the New York State Senate’s first meeting at Senate House.
