Mayor Pavey and the citizens of Rushville and Rush County received a special letter from Governor Holcomb wishing them well as they "gather to celebrate this historic year in Rush County's storied history." Holcomb shared many notable moments in the county's history and recognized the continuous hard work by citizens to expand its legacy.
"Rushville is a great example of a strong rural Indiana community that has continued to reinvent itself while never losing the character and charm that comes for its great Hoosier heritage," Holcomb stated in the letter. "You have a beautiful and special city matched by the proud Hoosiers who call it home. From the Statehouse to your house, I am pleased to congratulate the City of Rushville and Rush County on your bicentennial celebrations. Here is to a great year....and 200 more!"
Many have already joined in the celebration, but the Rushville Bicentennial Committee invites every community member to celebrate its 200 years of Rush County history.
