Dedication of Freedom Shrine – The Heritage Center of Clark County, Ohio

The Exchange Club of Springfield, Ohio, will dedicate a National Exchange Club Freedom Shrine Friday April 17th, 2026 at 1:30 PM at the Heritage Center of Clark County, Ohio, as part of Celebration 250 honoring the 250th anniversary of our nation.

The Freedom Shrine® is a collection of 29 original historic American documents photographically reproduced and attractively displayed in thousands of locations across the nation. The Freedom Shrine’s purpose is to remind all Americans that the freedoms which they enjoy today are, in essence,  a gift from the past-the product of the idealism, determination, and sacrifice of vast numbers of courageous men and women who preceded us. The Shrine also serves to remind all of us that so precious a gift as freedom must be continually guarded and protected.
