Check out the August StoryWalk® now up on the Warrenton Waterfront Trail starting on NE First Street next to the blue church.

StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children's book are attached to wooden stakes, which are installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story.

Welcome to the new Summer Reading Program!

Due to COVID 19, the City of Warrenton, in cooperation with the volunteers who organize and manage the annual Old-Fashioned 4th of July Celebration, has made the extremely difficult decision to cancel this year’s event.  This event has been an important and integral part of this community for decades, and we are disappointed to have had to make this decision.  On a brighter note – Look for more information over the next several months on a planned end of pandemic celebration!
