Tennessee Governor Bill Lee Finishes Statewide America 250 Tour

This week, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and First Lady Maria Lee finished a year-long, statewide America 250 tour themed “Tennessee: The Original Frontier.” The tour highlighted the iconic people, places, and events that defined Tennessee’s contributions to the American story. Over the last year, Gov. Lee visited all 95 counties across the state.  

“Over the past year, Maria and I have traveled from Mountain City to Memphis, and we’ve been reminded that our state’s greatest strength is its people,” said Gov. Lee. “As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, Tennesseans can take pride in the Volunteer Spirit carried forward in the individuals, communities, and stories that have helped shape our nation from the very beginning.” 

The tour concluded in Van Buren County at the same venue where Gov. Lee held his first gubernatorial campaign event in 2017, marking a return to the place where his statewide journey began.
