Fairfield County announced on Mar. 23 that it is seeking volunteers to help celebrate the county’s 250th year of American liberty with a historical reenactment event scheduled for April 25-26, 2026. The two-day event will take place on the green at Mt. Zion, located at 250 N. Walnut St., Winnsboro.
