Celebrating the
200th U.S. Bicentennial
The Campaign
In 1974 the ICA created a national campaign to support the U.S. 200th Bicentennial by facilitating Town Meetings in each of the 3,142 counties of the country.
Staff in each state developed their unique approach to the campaign. In each ICA office county maps were hung where facilitated Town Meetings were tracked by shading the completed county ‘gold’ until all the counties were completed.
The documents that resulted from more than 5,000 Town Meetings are now stored at the Library of Congress and the ICA office in Chicago, Illinois.
