This meaningful event will bring residents, families, and community partners together to commemorate 250 years of American history while looking ahead to the future. The ceremony will include the dedication of a Liberty Tree, symbolizing growth, resilience, and the lasting impact of community.

Honoring America’s Roots is one of several events taking place throughout Lufkin as part of the America 250 Celebration. These events are designed to bring people together through shared experiences that highlight history, culture, and community pride.
The event is free and open to the public, and all are encouraged to attend.
