Warren County Wanderings

Starting July 3, 2019

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Thomas Jefferson, 3rd US President, primary author of the Declaration of Independence

In honor of tomorrow's Independence Day holiday, we'll start this weekend's Wanderings with a quote from the document that helped set this great nation on its course to freedom and independence, and with a photo of a splendid example of our national emblem, the bald eagle, taken right here in Warren County recently by Kent Sweigert. Read on for ideas on where you can pursue your happiness. Happy Birthday, America, Happy Independence Day to all, and Happy Wanderings!
