To wit, the Rutland 300th Committee plans, in the year 2022:

To celebrate the strong "localism" - Rutland town spirit - that thrives in our community.

To offer diverse programming that is welcoming and inclusive of all Rutland residents.

To strengthen bonds of family and community with events that bring people together.

To involve local youth, in cooperation with schools, in varied and fun educational opportunities.

To recognize the positive and lasting impact of contributions made by Rutland community members.

To connect the present and past by coordinating, sharing and supporting historical events.

To provide a stage for and spotlight on Rutland art, music and culture, both current and past.

To inform our neighbors near and far of Rutland's history, attractions, and important role as the geographic center of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

To collaborate with, support and encourage all Rutland nonprofits, commissions, committees and town departments in taking advantage of the unique opportunity the Tricentennial offers to educate the public and to share their own history, goals and mission.
