HEARTS 250th: Forging Our Country '26

Join us for our homegrown July 4th celebration the HEARTS way, sharing local history, nature, the arts, and incredible live music! 

The connection to Lincoln County’s iron-rich history is the highlight at HEARTS 250 on July 4th! If you’re looking for a unique experience on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, look no further, you've found it!

From 2:00-5:00 at Cedar Grove and the Hugh Torance House and Store, join us for a very special living history day featuring blacksmith demonstrations, metal forging in our region, historic artifacts, and more! We’ll also have hot dogs (veggie and not), beverages, and the historic store is stocked with artisanal goodies to check out, too!  Our live music for the day is a stellar trio! Presenting Heidi Sidelinker, Billy Jones, and the legendary Jim Brock! Yes, THE Jim Brock!
