Happy Birthday, Indiana!
In 2016, Indiana is celebrating its 200th Birthday. Throughout the state and during the whole year there will be signature Bicentennial events. All around Indiana, the celebrations kicked off on December 11 with a Bicentennial Flag raising.
In Allen County, we kicked off the year-long celebration at the Allen County Courthouse with the Bicentennial Flag raising. At this event, we learned about how all the Bicentennial-themed events throughout the year all aim to honor our state's 200 years of history, and they will do so in a way that will engage Hoosiers in a modern way to create a lasting legacy!
As more community events are being planned in Allen County in 2016, visitors and community members can expect many events that will help us all celebrate. Check out the list below and make your plans to help celebrate Indiana's history and make your own lasting legacy!
