Residents and visitors are invited to step back in time with the launch of the Harford County Celebration Trail, a new interactive experience highlighting 63 historic sites across the county in honor of America’s 250th birthday. The self-guided trail encourages participants to explore museums, historic homes, landmarks, and sites that tell the story of the people and events that shaped our nation and the region.

“Harford’s Celebration Trail brings our rich history to life in a way that’s interactive, accessible, and fun,” County Executive Bob Cassilly said. “Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering your hometown, this experience encourages you to explore, learn, and celebrate along the way.”

Developed by Hello Harford, the county’s tourism marketing division under the Department of Economic Development, and in collaboration with the America 250 in Harford County Committee, the trail is powered through the Let’s Rallie mobile app. This free app allows users to easily navigate the experience at their own pace and track their progress.

How It Works:

Simply download the Let’s Rallie app from the App Store or Google Play and search for the Harford County Celebration Trail. Then follow a few simple steps:

1. Explore featured locations using the interactive map and site details.
2. Check in at each destination using the in-app feature.
3. Track progress and revisit memories in the “My Visited Sites” section.

To encourage exploration, participants who record the most site visits through Let’s Rallie in 2026 will be eligible for special giveaways from Hello Harford.
