Much like the excitement and planning happening now for America 250, our community was celebrating another major milestone back in 1999 for Ohio’s Bicentennial in 2003!

Pictured here is a ribbon cutting for Hancock County’s Bicentennial Barn, located along US-224 East and painted by artist Scott Hagen. Commissioned by the state, Hagen painted the official Bicentennial logo on at least one barn in each of Ohio’s 88 counties creating lasting landmarks that celebrated Ohio’s rich history and heritage.

Looking back on moments like these reminds us how special it is to come together as a community to honor our shared story. We’re excited to help create the memories and traditions that will become part of our local America 250 history for generations to come!
