Keyport Celebrates America’s Bicentennial (1976) A Digital Edition for America’s 250th
In 1976, as the United States celebrated its Bicentennial, the people of Keyport published Keyport Celebrates America's Bicentennial, a booklet that explored the community's history from its earliest settlement through the twentieth century. Fifty years later, during America's Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary), the Keyport Historical Society is pleased to present this digital edition. The text has been faithfully transcribed to preserve this important local publication. Where appropriate, we've added notes to reflect current historical research and terminology while maintaining the original voice of the 1976 publication. We hope this exhibit offers both a glimpse into Keyport's past and an appreciation for how our understanding of history continues to evolve.
