Come to the Tryonota Fire Department for a celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the Signing of the Tryon Resolves, complete with a historical program, reenactors, and a drum & fife corp.
The Tryon Resolves were passed by the short-lived *Tryon County's Committee of Safety on 14 August. All of the resolves penned in 1775 declared that British provocation had driven the people of North Carolina to armed resistance, that they should unite in resistance with the other colonies, and that they would follow the directives of the Provincial and Continental Congresses. (*In 1779, the General Assembly voted to do away with Tryon County, dividing the land into Lincoln and Rutherford Counties.)
