Original black and white photograph depicts a float in Chappaqua's Bicentennial Parade, September 6, 1930, celebrating the town's 200th anniversary (1730–1930). The float is built on a flatbed truck and features a stepped platform with reenactors dressed in colonial-era attire, symbolizing Chappaqua's early history. At the front of the float, a seated figure in a cloak appears to represent a symbolic or historical character. The float's design prominently displays "Chappaqua 200th Anniversary 1730–1930" on its side. Spectators dressed in 1930s attire can be seen in the background, adding to the celebratory and historical atmosphere of the parade.Category
