Angelica's history in the spotlight for America 250 | Watch

As America turns 250, Angelica, New York, is stepping into the spotlight. The town says it is where history lives, and its roots go back to Angelica Schuyler Church. She was the eldest daughter of Revolutionary War General Philip Schuyler and the sister-in-law of Alexander Hamilton. Angelica Schuyler Church is widely celebrated today as a major character in Lin-Manuel Miranda's incredibly successful Broadway musical, Hamilton. The pistols used in the infamous Hamilton-Burr duel were owned by Angelica's husband and were kept at the Belvedere Mansion. The village of Angelica was incorporated in 1835, and the town was once the county seat of Allegheny County. Today, Angelica Park Circle anchors village life with concerts, the Lavender Festival, Heritage Days, a farmer's market, and croquet. The town also hosts the Allegheny County Fair every July, with the 181st edition coming up July 20th to 25th. Angelica's Park Circle features tributes to U.S. service members, local landmarks and patriotic banners around the town's circle continue to proudly honor the community's veterans and long military history. Angelica will lead an America 250 celebration on July 11th in the Historic District. The day will include a parade, family activities, a street dance, a flag ceremony, history presentations, a time capsule, and fireworks.
