2021 marks a significant milestone in village history.
The Babylon Beautification Society celebrates its 50th Anniversary.
For the past 50 years, the Babylon Beautification Society’s impact on our community has been visible everywhere. Our most notable projects include the Gazebo, the Welcome Sign at the train station, and the Bayman Statue. We have also been adding flowers and trees to the community for decades and were instrumental in leading the recent recognition of the Village of Babylon as a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation.
We are one of the largest volunteer organizations in the village, and each year thousands of residents devote their time to our projects and initiatives. The principles of volunteerism and community continue to be the foundation of our organization.
On Saturday, December 11, 2021, at Noon, we will mark this special occasion with a ceremony at the Village Gazebo.
Community leaders will recognize our contributions over the past half-century. We will also acknowledge the contributions of Babylon Beautification Society’s past presidents.
