🇺🇸 Want to Walk With Us in the Flag Day Parade? 🦖

There's still time to join the Claverack Historical Society in the Hudson Flag Day Parade on June 13 as part of America's 250th Anniversary Celebration.

We'll be marching alongside the 1/10 scale dinosaur models inspired by the famous dinosaurs created by Jonas Studios in Claverack for the 1964–65 World's Fair—a unique piece of local history that we're proud to help share with the community.

Whether you're a member, a history enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun way to celebrate, we'd love to have you join us.

Interested? Send us a message or email [email protected] for details.

🇺🇸 Help us represent Claverack and celebrate our community's history!
