Butler Eagle: America 250 - A Journey Through Time

A special publication designed to remember, celebrate and honor those pieces of our past as we prepare to mark the nation’s 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.
Each issue will include articles of national, state and county significance, profiles of people throughout the centuries and more.

The first 17 months will focus on slices of history and how events impacted the people who lived through those times. An added feature will show where readers can continue their own journeys through history at museums and historical attraction.
