In 2011, Warren County will celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the County. As part of the celebration, a Planning Committee has been established to plan and execute the events of the celebration. The Committee is comprised of one representative from each election district, along with representatives from the Warren Heritage Society, Front Royal-Warren County Visitor’s Center, and Warren County government.
The Planning Committee has met several times since its creation and has come up with a variety of possible events to celebrate the Anniversary. Proposed events include: a ceremony marking Warren County’s official incorporation date of March 9th, street banner installation, art contests for school aged children, a 175th Anniversary website, commemorative tree plantings, participation in both Black History Month and Native American History Month, commemorative items available for sale, and a “Warren County Day.” The group also plans to have a traveling display that will appear at community events such as the Festival of Leaves and the Wine and Craft Festival.
At this time, the Planning Committee is in need of volunteers to assist with the planning and execution of the celebration activities. Anyone interested in participating in the events is asked to contact Brandy Rosser, Warren County’s Grants and Special Project Coordinator at (540) 636-4600 extension 338 or via email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
