Commemoration Commission

The Boston Commemoration Commission will mark upcoming historical anniversaries, including Boston 250 in 2025 -2026, the 400th anniversary of the founding of the City of Boston in 2030, and many more historical anniversaries significant to all our local communities to tell the full range of our history.

The Boston Commemoration Commission will invest in inclusive and robust historical resources and preservation tools by working with diverse community voices and organizations who steward Boston's history and City departments with responsibilities relating to shaping historical narratives, exhibits, curricula, archives, preservation, and events to deepen public opportunities to engage with history, in collaboration with state and federal partners. 

The Commission exists to affirm that our diverse and intertwined community histories are of great value to the City of Boston, that historical tourism should be a driver of true shared prosperity, that inclusive and honest historical memory is a crucial public good worthy of attention and resources, and that communities all over the City should have the tools and resources to research, preserve, acknowledge, and celebrate their history.
