Southern Vermont Celebrates America's 250th

As communities across Southern Vermont marked America’s 250th Anniversary

FACT TV was there to capture three memorable celebrations that honored the nation’s history while showcasing the unique traditions of our region. From the festive Saxtons River Fourth of July Parade, featuring patriotic floats, live music, and hometown pride, to Westminster’s public reading of the Declaration of Independence, where residents gathered to reflect on the words that launched a nation, each event highlighted the spirit of community that has defined Vermont for generations. We also covered Grafton’s 250th Celebration, where residents and visitors came together to commemorate the town’s rich history with a parade, music, family activities, and a look back at two and a half centuries of community life.

Whether you were there in person or couldn’t make it, you can now experience these historic celebrations through FACT TV’s complete video coverage.
