FROM FACEBOOK__In celebration of America 250, the Hardin County Chamber & Business Alliance held a special tree planting ceremony on Thursday, May 14.
Trees symbolize growth, strength, and a deep-rooted commitment to the future—making this the perfect way to honor 250 years of American history right here in Hardin County. This newly planted tree will stand as a living monument for generations of residents to enjoy.
A heartfelt thank you to our local leaders, volunteers, and community members who joined us to dig in, give back, and leave a lasting legacy for the future!
