The town of Hartsville is planning a two-day festival later this month to welcome the Indiana Bicentennial Torch to Bartholomew County.

The town in northeastern Bartholomew County will have activities on Sept. 17th and 18th on the town square. Organizers say there will be historical displays, re-enactors from the Civil War through World War II, crafts, old-fashioned toys and games and more. The Hartsville Volunteer Fire Department will be holding a fish fry both days.

Events go from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday the 17th and 11 a.m to 6 p.m. on Sunday the 18th. The torch is expected to arrive in Bartholomew County at about 5 p.m. on the 18th.
