VA250 in the Alleghany Highlands

Honoring Our Past. Celebrating Our Community.

In 2026, our nation will commemorate 250 years of history through VA250—and here in the Alleghany Highlands, we’re making sure our community is part of that story.

VA250 in the Alleghany Highlands is about more than a milestone anniversary. It is an opportunity for our community to come together, reflect on our shared history, and celebrate the people, places, and traditions that define who we are.
