History

From The Mayor's office:

The timing of the event originates in the end of World War I, when the armistice between the Allies and Germany began at 11:00 am on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year.

This annual event is hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wares (VFW) Howard Plant Post 782. It has been a great privilege to attend this event as Mayor, and I invite you to join me and many others at Battery Park to honor those in our community, including many City employees, who have served our country in the armed forces.

From Melinda Moulton:

Mary Means is the retired owner of Mary Means & Associates, a small but mighty community planning firm that earned a strong reputation for "building bridges between plans and people". Mary conceived the Main Street Project which had the bold mission of demonstrating economic development within the context of historic preservation. This pilot project evolved into Main Street America. In 2021 Mary wrote "Main Street's Come Back and How it Can Come Back Again". The National Trust for Historic Preservation gave Mary the 2020 Louise du Pont Crowninshield Award. Mary is presently working on her memoir.
