FROM THE CANISTEO COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUP: As we celebrate Flag Day and begin looking ahead to America’s 250th Anniversary in 2026, we want to extend our sincere appreciation to all of the volunteers, organizations, businesses, and community members who have come together to help beautify downtown Canisteo.
From the American flags proudly lining our streets to the patriotic decorations throughout the village, your hard work and dedication help showcase the pride we have in our community and our nation.
We invite everyone to take a stroll through downtown Canisteo and enjoy the decorations. While you’re here, be sure to stop and read the historical displays honoring local men and women whose stories helped shape our nation’s history. In particular, you’ll find information about Revolutionary War veterans and early settlers, including Captain John Jamison and others whose contributions remind us of the sacrifices made to secure our freedom.
As we prepare to commemorate 250 years of American independence, it’s important to remember that history is not just found in textbooks—it’s right here in our own community.
Thank you for helping make Canisteo a place where patriotism, history, and community spirit continue to thrive.
