Luckily, with the support of the Tennessee Arts Commission we were able to draw a major artist to our annual event celebrating our heritage, which is something the Town of Huntingdon is known for.”
Huntingdon Heritage Festival organizers say this year’s event will be fun for all ages. The event is free and open to the public. The festival will take place in September on the court square in Huntingdon.
