Last week, Commissioner John Cimino had the opportunity to visit Steinert High School in Hamilton and speak with students in Mr. Tessein’s class.

Commissioner Cimino shared his experiences in public service, discussed the role of county government, and answered questions from students about local government and civic engagement.

Thank you to Mr. Tessein and the students at Steinert for the warm welcome and a great conversation

Happy Independence Day from the Mercer County Board of County Commissioners! 🇺🇸

As we celebrate the 4th of July, we are also honoring a monumental milestone this year: the 250th Anniversary of our nation’s founding! 🎆

Right here in Mercer County—the Crossroads of the American Revolution—we are immensely proud of our local roots. From the crucial turning point at the Battle of Trenton to the triumph at Princeton, the courage of those who fought right in our own backyard laid the foundation for the freedoms we enjoy today. Mercer County's history is America's history!

As you gather with family, friends, and neighbors today for barbecues, parades, and fireworks, let's take a moment to reflect on the enduring spirit of liberty that unites us all.

Have a safe, joyous, and spectacular Independence Day, Mercer County! 🎇🍔🇺🇸

🌟 Happy Juneteenth from the Mercer County Board of County Commissioners! 🌟

Today, we join our community and the nation in commemorating Juneteenth—a day of profound historical significance that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally received news of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is not only a time for celebration, but also a vital moment for reflection, education, and honoring the incredible resilience, culture, and enduring contributions of African Americans.

Here in Mercer County, we are proud of our rich diversity and history. Today, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and liberty for all of our residents. We encourage everyone to take time to reflect on this important chapter in our history and to celebrate the vibrant community events happening across the county today.

In liberty and unity,
The Mercer County Board of County Commissioners

Today we honor the Stars and Stripes: a symbol of the freedom, unity, and the values that bring us together as Americans.

Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by generations of service members, veterans, and citizens who have helped shape our nation.

As we proudly display our flag, let us reflect on the principles it represents and the shared commitment we have inherited, to preserve those principles for future generations.

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

On this Memorial Day, the Mercer County Board of County Commissioners extends our deepest gratitude to our fallen heroes, and to the families who carry their legacy forward. Our community and our country are forever indebted to their courage and dedication to protecting our freedoms.
