Village of Tarlton America 250

The Village of Tarlton will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, July 11, with a day of live music, family activities, local vendors, a tractor parade, and community fellowship during the Tarlton America 250 Celebration.

The event is part of America 250-Ohio’s Ohio’s Homecoming & Picnic Signature Program, a statewide initiative encouraging communities to gather throughout 2026 to celebrate the people, places, and stories that have shaped Ohio and the nation over the past 250 years.

Located in northeastern Pickaway County, Tarlton has a long history of bringing people together. Founded by Benjamin Newell in 1801, the village remains one of the county’s oldest settlements and provides a fitting backdrop for a celebration focused on community, heritage, and hometown pride.
