✨🇺🇸Did you know Wethersfield: America250!🇺🇸✨

Did you know that there is a "Hometown Heroes" mural at the Pitkin Community Center?

As the sun went down last night I couldn't help but find the beauty in this amazing mural that depicts fallen heroes who will stay in the hearts of our town's people forever!

What makes Wethersfield great is our "Power of Place," with our rich history and Wethersfield pride. People come from all over saying, "what a hidden gem" Wethersfield is. What really stands out though, is our strength of community and how we get stronger in the face of tragedy. This spot, right here, with the "Hometown Heroes" mural and the dedicated 9/11 Memorial Sports Center brought to you by Judy Keane, shows that we are a town that never forgets. These are all great qualities of a small town in a great big America!🇺🇸

See the themes that were established for America250 below and share what themes encompasses our town or this mural.

America 250 themes:

⦁ Tell Inclusive Stories – sharing histories that may have gone untold
⦁ Power of Place – highlighting what makes our community unique
⦁ Doing History – actively engaging in historical exploration and learning
⦁ For the Common Good – strengthening civic engagement and democracy

The US🇺🇸 is 250 years old, come celebrate with us!!!!⬇️
