The Nation’s 250th anniversary is July 4, 2026.  It is being marked with a year-long celebration.

“As we mark this significant milestone in our nation’s history, it is fitting that we not only reflect on our achievements but also take tangible steps towards a greener future,” said Mayor Dan Henkel.

“The tree planting symbolizes growth, resilience, and our commitment to preserving our heritage for future generations.”
