If you’ve forgotten more than you learned about what-all led up to signing of the Declaration of Independence on this, its 250th anniversary, what about the stories you never heard?

Want to know more about what’s going on in Upstate New York to mark the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution? Revolutionary Schohary County—Rev 250—is your go-to.

Schoharie County is nothing if not resilient and thanks to the NOVA documentary Operation Bridge Rescue, the story of a race against time to lift and twist and coax the rebuilt Blenheim Bridge into place—the original washed away by Hurricane Irene in 2011—the rest of the world now knows it too.

The area now known as the Village of Schoharie was first named by the Mohawk people, who referred to it with a term transliterated as Ska-ahár-ree, commonly interpreted to mean “driftwood” or “floodwaters,” in reference to the Schoharie Creek.
