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.
