Whitley County Bicentennial Celebrating 200 years of history
Dear Friends, On behalf of the County of Whitley it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our 200 th anniversary. We have a unique topography, and a rich history and culture that is reflected in every corner of Whitley County. Our Bicentennial provides a moment in time to acknowledge our great triumphs, from innovations that created industry to world class educational facilities. We have also known, and overcome, severe economic challenges. Whitley County continues to gain momentum and Recognition across our region. Throughout the centuries one invaluable resource stands out, our people. Let 2018 be our Bicentennial Bridge during which we will honor our deep roots in history while acknowledging the changes that we must implement to offer opportunities for generations yet to come.
