In honor of our Nation's 250th Anniversary, the Greene County Heritage Trust is offering sponsorship banners, as shown here. These will be installed on Downtown Greeneville light poles for 10 months in 2026. Sponsors' business or organization name will appear on the banner. At the end of the 10 months, each sponsor gets to keep their commemorative banner. Made of weather-resistant vinyl, the size of each banner is 27.7" by 60". Each banner costs $200. Only 25 banners will be sold.

Since the Greene County Heritage Trust was established as a local nonprofit 501(c)3 organization in 1973,  its primary mission has been to help protect, preserve, and/or restore Greeneville and Greene County structures, sites, and artifacts that are part of our countywide community’s rich historic and cultural legacy. In addition, working with other similar groups, the Trust seeks to increase public awareness of that legacy, and build respect and appreciation for it.
