The Fredericksburg City Council has outlined an ambitious three-year celebration that will start with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. in 2026 and culminate with the city's 300th anniversary two years later.
The plans, unveiled during the November 26 work session, will spotlight the nation's founding, Revolutionary War heritage, and Fredericksburg's integral role in American history.
