This Friday will be the first of many parties to kick off celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The America 250 PA group will start holding gatherings on January 16th in Philadelphia as the kickoff of a two-week tour of all 67 counties. Celebrations are expected to take place at county courthouses and historical places across the state. Each ceremony will highlight the individual county’s unique history, local partnerships and their role in the upcoming semi-quincentennial.
Indiana County’s celebration is planned for Sunday, January 25th from 10:30 to noon at the new Indiana County Welcome Center at the former First Commonwealth Bank branch at 6th and Philadelphia Streets. Light refreshments will be provided.
More information on the event can be found on the America 250 PA Indiana County Facebook page.
