As part of Red Bud’s America 250 celebration and in honor of the City’s incorporation on April 25, 1867, local 8th graders took part in a special field trip on Friday, April 24, 2026.

Students spent the morning exploring the Red Bud Area Museum, viewing Revolutionary War-era relics and learning about the history of local Masonic Lodges. They also visited City Hall, and the Fire and Police Departments, where they gained insight into municipal careers, elected offices, and public safety through tours and demonstrations.

Thank you to all of the volunteers and organizations who helped make this experience possible, and to our educators for recognizing the importance of connecting students with the rich history and opportunities within our community. We are proud to help inspire the next generation of Red Bud leaders!
