Warren city leaders plant heritage tree
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — America's semiquincentennial isn't until next year, but Trumbull County is kicking off its celebrations with something that'll take root and stand tall for future generations.
County and city leaders joined others in planting a Heritage Tree behind City Hall Wednesday. The program is inspired by Boston's historic Liberty Tree during the Revolutionary War.
Trumbull is among the first eight counties to receive a white oak tree under the America 250-Ohio initiative. The location for the white oak was picked based on the county's historic legacy.
'It represents the resilience of Trumbull County tourism, it represents the resilience of Ohio and we're excited to be able to under this 250 umbrella to be able to share our history and how it connects with national history,' said Beth Kotwis Carmichael with the Trumbull County Tourism Bureau.
Throughout 2025 and 2026, a Heritage Tree will be planted in all 88 counties.
