Warren County officials marked a significant historical milestone during their recent Board of Supervisors meeting, acknowledging the 250th anniversary of Dr. Philson Horn, the county's namesake, who fought bravely at Bunker Hill. This recognition highlights the county's commitment to honoring its heritage, although some supervisors expressed a desire for a more robust celebration of this important event.

In addition to historical reflections, the meeting included announcements about upcoming community events. Supervisors encouraged residents to attend the employee and family night at Eastfield, where the Dragons will host an Adirondack Thunder night. Attendees wearing Thunder gear can enjoy free admission, while others can enter for a nominal fee.

Looking ahead, the annual Glasgow Symphony Orchestra celebration and fireworks display is set for the eve of Independence Day, promising to be a festive occasion for the community.

County Administrator Ed Clark also reported that Warren County has been designated as a sanctuary jurisdiction by the Department of Homeland Security. However, he clarified that the county has not yet taken any steps to adopt this status, leaving the implications of this designation open for future discussion.

These discussions reflect the county's ongoing efforts to engage with its history and community while navigating new designations that may impact its governance. As Warren County moves forward, the focus remains on fostering community spirit and addressing significant issues that affect residents.
