The Indiana American Revolution Bicentennial Commission (IARBC) was created in 1971 by the Indiana General Assembly to coordinate Bicentennial activities. The Commission helped develop and implement projects across the state, administered the Federal Matching Grant program, and prepared records of the Bicentennial celebrations for placement in the state archives. The law that created the IARBC also stipulated that the Commission was to be abolished on January 1, 1984.
