"United in History, Together in Progress"
In the year 2026, The United States of America and our very own Washington County will both be celebrating the historic milestone of their 250th anniversaries. To commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Washington County is hosting a 250th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, July 4, 2026 at the Washington County Agricultural Education Center! For 250 years, our vibrant community has been a cornerstone of American history, culture, and progress. This momentous occasion is an opportunity to reflect on our rich heritage, honor our achievements, and look forward to an even brighter future.
