APPOMATTOX, Va. (WSET) — You can soon celebrate with the Town of Appomattox for its 100th birthday !

The town was established on June 2, 1925.

On Saturday, June 7, the town is holding a centennial celebration event at the Courtland Festival Park, located at 217 Atwood Street.

Town Councilman McKinley Cardwell said he hopes this event will also highlight Appomattox's rich history.

"Our saying in 1925 was in the shadows of a past delight to the future. You know that, and that's coming from just our Civil War era. We've been able to go through many different changes, many different societal changes. I think along the way, we have become a more diverse and yet a more accepting place," Cardwell said.
