As part of the America 250 Celebration, the City of Lufkin and Angelina County invite the community to attend Honoring America’s Roots, a special tree planting ceremony presented by Angelina Beautiful Clean, taking place on May 26 at 2:00 PM at 115 E Shepherd Ave in Downtown Lufkin.

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.

“Planting a tree is a powerful way to honor where we’ve been while investing in what’s ahead. This ceremony reflects the spirit of Lufkin, rooted in history, strengthened by community, and focused on the future,” said Tara Hendrix, Director of Tourism at Visit Lufkin.

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.

Organizations hosting events in recognition of America’s 250th anniversary are encouraged to contact Visit Lufkin to be included in the community-wide celebration.
