YEARS

Welcome to the

Bucyrus Bicentennial Celebration Website!

The Bucyrus Bicentennial Commission is a group of dedicated volunteers who have been diligently working for the past two years to celebrate and honor the 200th birthday of our beloved Bucyrus.

A  large number of celebratory events and activities have already taken place throughout 2021.
