Joining Us to Host the Traveling Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Butler County historically has hosted History Day, one day ahead of the 4th of July. For America 250, this has been extended for a full week! We are planning a full week of programming in Zelienople. Read the full schedule by clicking the link below. (Photo: Butler Eagle)

A traveling full scale replica of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has traveled the United States offering Americans a reminder of the sacrifices made to ensure our way of life. We have been selected to host the Tomb for America 250.

Zelienople is undertaking a project to renovate the Veterans Memorial. Any funds raised not used for History week and the Fourth of July will be donated directly to this renovation project. (Photo: Butler Eagle)

Remembering the
true cost of freedom.
Proceeds Benefit:
Any proceeds left over from covering the event programming during history week such as the traveling costs of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, will be donated directly to the renovation of the Veterans memorial in Four Corners Park. If you’d like to donate directly to this project, please consider purchasing a brick.


Let’s Set a Record together
Help us set a record! Ahead of the parade we will be collecting American Flags. These will be distributed at the parade. Together we will hold these flags on high as a drone captures the footage and estimates the number of people!
Drop Off Locations will be determined in the future. For now, please drop off flags at the Zelienople Historical Society. Please see their website for hours and information.

Let’s Set a Record together
Before the parade, as we all come together to enjoy the festivities, we will take a moment together to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. As we historically have had between 7,000 to 10,000 people in attendance this is possible to achieve!
We’ll share more information as we have it, so stick around and share this site with your friends and family.
