The Town of Kearny, together with the New Jersey Society Sons of the American Revolution, commemorated the 250th anniversary of American independence with the planting of a Liberty Tree at American Bicentennial Park next to Town Hall.
Council members Marytrine De Castro, George Zapata, Fred Esteves and Eileen Eckel joined members of the community for the ceremony, which included performances of the “Star-Spangled Banner” and “America the Beautiful” by the Kearny High School K-Birds.
The Liberty Tree will serve as a lasting tribute to America’s 250th anniversary and Kearny’s place in the nation’s continuing story.
