About the event

Greeneville and Greene County will celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our country in front of the Greene County Courthouse.


Join us at 5:30 pm for opening remarks! There will be free apple pie for the first 250 people. Top Dog Hot Dog will be there vending hot dogs and sausages. We are putting together a great line-up of patriotic music and Declaration readers! Come see Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and others!


This is part of a state-wide initiative called Sharing the Spirit of America, where Tennesseans will join communities across the United States in reading the Declaration of Independence aloud together at 6 pm EDT on July 8. The Tennessee Society of the Sons of the American Revolution will be leading this initiative in our state in 2026.

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.
