# Event Details

- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for a puppet show featuring Rainbow Puppet Productions celebrating America’s 250th birthday!

In 1607, Pocahontas and Powhatan see strangers entering the land of their ancestors. Those strangers include Captain Christopher Newport and John Smith who set sail from England searching for riches and adventure. What emerges is a new nation that struggled to find freedom and opportunity for all people.

George Washington wins the Revolutionary War in Yorktown and a new nation is born. Patrick Henry asks for “Liberty or Death” but it will take another battle to free all Americans.

As the Civil War ends, Mary Peake teaches enslaved people to read under an oak tree where Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation is read and Hampton University is later built.

America expands with railroads crossing from one end of the country to another. Collis P. Huntington encourages us to build ships which will connect America to the rest of the world. We finally explore space and plant a flag on the moon.

The entire show is filled with dance, music, and lots of audience participation.

The U.S. Army TRADOC Band performs several traditional musical selections in this show.

This event is free, and advanced registration is required.
