CELEBRATING AMERICA'S 250TH!
Before the Declaration, Westmoreland County had Resolve...and we still do!Â
On May 16, 1775, frontier settlers in Westmoreland County took a courageous stand against British rule and signed The Hanna's Town Resolves, declaring their willingness to fight for their rights.Â
Today, you see the resolve and determination of Westmoreland County as we embrace growth while preserving our history, culture, and natural spaces.Â
Discover Westmoreland where America's story comes alive!
On May 17, 2025, the day will kick-off with a Resolve to Run 5K and Kids race at 8:30 am. Reenactors will reenact the Hanna's Town Resolves andpecial living history demonstrations and displays will also be featured from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Westmoreland County is celebrating America's 250th throughout 2025 and 2026. You'll find all kinds of events on our America's 250th Community Calendar. Scroll down the page to see our event listings. And you're welcome to add your organization's events.
