Revolutionary Homestead

Our weekend programs extend to Sunday from Memorial Day to Labor Day, with exhibits on frontier life & culture, plus access to the museum and gift shop.

Imagine living through the birth of our nation: Could you start a fire with flint and steel? Spin fibers into thread? Plant and harvest food from the garden? And where would your loyalties lie?

"Revolutionary Homestead" explores how simple lives were shaped by one of the most formative periods in our history.

Experience frontier life in the 1770s through engaging living history demonstrations and presentations. Featuring a new animal husbandry initiative, hands-on gardening, and more, join us for history brought to life!

Perfect for all ages, step into our frontier story, where history comes to life!

No RSVP required, our free Sunday programs are sponsored by the Americana Corner Preserving America Partners program.
