Special Postal Cancellation on October 17-18, 1976 to Commemorate the
Bicentennial of the Battle of Pelham During the Revolutionary War
During the nation's bicentennial celebration in 1976, Pelham hosted a
wonderful celebration that included, among many other activities, a
reenactment of the Battle of Pelham that occurred on October 18, 1776. The
reenactment was filmed and turned into a brief and informative
documentary.
Among many aspects of the celebration was a special postal cancellation
held on October 17-18, 1976 also to commemorate the bicentennial of the
Battle of Pelham. An image of that special postal cancellation appears
immediately below.
The image above depicts an original special cancellation maintained in
the collections of The Office of The Historian of The Town of Pelham.
