The Sparta Historic District (SHD) celebrated dual milestones on Saturday, July 4, with their first ever Founder’s Day celebration. The event commemorated both the 250th anniversary of the nation’s Declaration of Independence and the 150th anniversary of the city’s founding.
Founder’s Day included the SHD’s traditional Fourth of July parade down the City’s Main Street, as well as food trucks and vendors at the Old Bank parking lot, as well as a pie bakeoff and an ice cream social.
