150th Sesquicentennial
Can you say "Sesquicentennial"? In 2017, Alaska will have been a U.S. possession for 150 years and the commemoration of this is called a "sesquicentennial." It might be challenging to spell, or even remember, but it is certainly a landmark event on the local, state, national and international level.
On October 18, 1867, the Transfer of Russia's claims on Alaska to the U.S. officially took place in Sitka, Alaska. The Sitka Historical Society has committed to helping Sitka become the center of the 150th Commemoration with a year-long schedule of events and programs.
Those wishing to volunteer their talents and efforts to the 150th Commemoration or learn more about the Sesquicentennial should visit AK150.com
Monday through Friday and selected weekends
