Join us for Constitution Day tomorrow at 10am.

In 1956 Eisenhower designated Sept 17th through 23rd as Constitution Week and Sept 17th as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, setting the precedent for all future presidents to issue similar declarations.

This year's presidential proclamation: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/09/16/a-proclamation-on-constitution-day-and-citizenship-day-and-constitution-week-2024/

Join us at the Federal Courthouse at 10am tomorrow to learn more about The Constitution, its protections and our responsibilities as citizens to deeply understand and uphold them.

Tomorrow, September 17th, is Constitution Day 2024 at the James H. Quillen United States Courthouse at 220 W. Depot Street. It starts at 10 am and will go until around 1:30 pm. There will be a live reading of the U.S. Constitution and an art contest showcasing student work.
