- **Event Description**: The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates are thrilled to announce their signature 2026 event commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Join us for an immersive, living history event featuring colonial and early American demonstrations, trades, and activities. Meet General George Washington and learn about life on and off the battlefield while you visit a military encampment and engage with reenactors. Enjoy a horse-drawn wagon ride through the historic area. Listen to the Brandywine Colonials Fife and Drum Corps during the afternoon and then join us for a reading of the Declaration of Independence and live music on the lawn with the Haycreek Valley Goldband to close out the evening as we celebrate America’s 250th.

As visitors make their way through the Historic Area, they can enjoy a tour through the Boone House and an open-hearth cooking demonstration. Throughout the historic area, visitors can learn about the intricate work of a leatherworker, the detailed work of a gunsmith, and the skillful work of a blacksmith and how these important artisans contributed to the war efforts. Plus, visit the American Indian display to learn about the role these indigenous people played in America’s fight for independence. At the Bertolet Log House, visitors will hear from living history interpreters about the colonial militia and Dragoons and can participate in a muster activity using wooden dummy guns and swords. Then, make your way to the Revolutionary War medical hospital and surgeon display in the Wayside Lodge. Here visitors can view period medical instruments and learn about medical practices during the War.

In addition to demonstrations and trades, there will be a variety of eighteenth-century hands-on activities for children and adults to enjoy including quill pen writing and colonial toys and games. And, as part of this event, we are thrilled to exbibit one of Warwick Furnace’s American Revolution cannons courtesy of the Thomas P. Bentley Nature Preserve and French and Pickering Creeks Conversation Trust. In 2022, this 4,500-pound cannon, along with three others, was discovered under 30 inches of earth at Warwick Furnace where it had remained for 246 years.
