Adair County was honored during Russell County’s Bicentennial 200th Birthday Celebration held Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025.
Adair County Deputy Judge Executive Bridget Compton represented Adair County at the celebration and accepted a plaque recognizing Adair County’s historic donation of land in 1825. That contribution, along with land from Wayne and Cumberland counties, helped establish the community that is now known as Russell County.
“I was honored to be a part of Russell County’s Bicentennial 200th Birthday Party,” Compton said.
Adair County Judge Executive Larry Bryant shared that he regretted being unable to attend the celebration of “our neighbors and friends” due to a scheduling conflict with Columbia’s hometown Christmas parade and a prior commitment to drive the Lindsey Wilson College Turning Point Chapter float.
