From WOOD COUNTY
Wood County will host an America 250 Block Party at Courthouse Square on Tuesday, June 16, from 4 – 8 p.m., offering an opportunity to join the nationwide celebration of the Declaration of Independence’s 250th anniversary.
This community-wide event will include guided tours of the historic Wood County Courthouse – reservations required, live music from local veterans, food trucks along Court Street, kids games and activities, and treats served by Wood County elected officials. The evening will conclude with a patriotic concert by the Bowling Green Area Community Bands at 7 p.m. on the courthouse lawn.
Residents are encouraged to save the date, join the celebration, and bring a chair for the concert. Additional details will be announced.
Tours of the courthouse will feature access to both public areas and lesser-known spaces that are typically not available for viewing. Tour guides Judge Matthew Reger, Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn, and former Wood County Auditor Michael Sibbersen will share historical context and personal stories connected to this landmark.
Tours will depart every 30 minutes from 4 – 5:30 p.m., with advance reservations required and groups limited to 15 participants. To schedule a tour, email akrukowski@woodcountyohio.gov or call 419-354-9210.
The Block Party at Courthouse Square is part of Wood County’s ongoing America 250 festivities, supported by county government and the Wood County Economic Development Commission.
