4th of July Celebration at the Colonial Pennsylvania Farmstead
July 5 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
$4 – $12.
Discover the roots of Revolution on a colonial farm as you step into the tension of 1776 where Patriots, Loyalists, and Quakers debate the future of the colonies and the true loyalty of the farm. Join public demonstrations against the king, experience a debate among neighbors, listen to a reading of the Declaration of Independence, and show your loyalty by signing the Declaration.
Enjoy hands-on activities throughout the day including hearth cooking, quill writing, candle dipping, gardening, textiles, and more.
Schedule of Events:
11:00 am – 2:00 pm: Pratt Run Tea Party
12:30 pm: “Where Will You Stand? A Farm, a Community, and the Choice of a Nation.” In a time when loyalties were tested and neighbors found themselves on opposing sides, join as Patriots, Loyalists, and Quakers debate the future of independence and decide the fate of the farmstead.
1:30 pm: Militia Muster
Last admission at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $14 for Adults, $10 Children, and $7 Members. Visitors are welcome to bring a lawn/folding chair and water bottles.
