Join State Historian Katherine Ringsmuth for a comprehensive recap of Alaska's highly successful year-long America250 celebration that engaged Alaskans from Mountain View to the Pribilof Islands. As the America250-Alaska co-Commissioner, Ringsmuth will share lessons learned on commemorative anniversaries and, if well planned and executed, how they can be important agents of historic preservation, public history, heritage tourism, and community pride.
