Kick off the summer with a lively celebration of America’s birthday on Sunday, July 4, at GCV&M!
Families will love patriotic musical performances, historic games, a 19th Century-style parade around the historic village, and picnicking on the Great Meadow. Experience a reading of the Declaration of Independence and Frederick Douglass' "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" read by David Shakes of the North Star Players, as well as fascinating demonstrations by costumed interpreters in the Historic Village. The Depot Restaurant and Freight House Pub will be serving hot dogs, burgers, craft beer, cider, and soft drinks, and festive Independence Day Cake will be available at the historic Confectionery. Plus – don’t miss the pie-eating contest!
