  2. Founded in 1826--just fifty years after the birth of our Republic--The Post-Journal has chronicled nearly the entire American story through the lens of one community.

The First Amendment protects a free press because our Founding Fathers understood that an informed citizenry is essential to self- government. For two centuries, The Post-Journal has fulfilled that responsibility by informing its readers, fostering civic engagement, and preserving the history of Western New York for future generations. Over the past two centuries, The Post-Journal has adapted to changing times while remaining steadfast in its mission to serve its readers with trusted local journalism.

It captures not only elections and public policy, but also the stories of veterans, small businesses, schools, churches, civic organizations, and everyday citizens whose contributions may never make national headlines but leave an enduring mark on their communities. As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, it is especially fitting that we recognize one of our nation's oldest and most enduring civic institutions.

Ebba's pioneering efforts led the formation of the A Cappella Choir, renowned for its annual Vespers services and international performances, earning the moniker ``Choir of the Cathedrals.'' Over the decades, these programs have fostered generations of talented musicians, instilling values of discipline, collaboration and cultural appreciation. As we celebrate this milestone, we commend and express deep gratitude to the past, present and future directors, instructors and students whose passion and dedication continue to inspire the Jamestown community and uphold this remarkable legacy for generations to come. ____________________
