Liberty Celebration

To mark the patriotic occasion, visitors can enjoy interpretive programs, artillery demonstrations, and learn about the challenges that faced our nation’s founders,
Indoors and out, there's no shortage of liberty experiences. See a rare July 1776 broadside of the famous document duplicated in mass to spread the word of liberty from town to town and catch "Liberty Fever," the museum's introductory film shown throughout the day in the main theater. From 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., visitors can experience the life of 18th-century soldiers and citizens in outdoor recreations of a Continental Army encampment and Revolution-era farm.
Artillery demonstrations will begin at 11 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., and a program on feeding the troops will take place at 2 p.m.
