During the Bicentennial year of 1976, DeKalb County Parks and Recreation, DeKalb Federal Savings and Loan, and DeKalb Chamber of Commerce presented a play called "A Cry of Eagles", portraying the story of Baron DeKalb and the American Revolution. These pages are taken from a program created that year.

Contact the archives to come see it in person, along with other Bicentennial papers.
