Freedom Park was built so that the Bicentennial Barge would have a place to land in Schenectady County in 1976. The former dumping ground for unset concrete and discarded construction materials was transformed into a lovely amphitheater and stage on the banks of the Mohawk River; an idyllic setting for the production of "Ballad for Americans." After a wonderful summer of historical and patriotic festivities, soon to be Mayor Dennis Madden, realized that Scotia now had a fine performance venue - and no plans to use it in the future. Thus was born the Freedom Park Foundation.
