Happy 250th Birthday America!

Join us as we celebrate the semiquincentennial of the United States by exploring what life was like in 18th-century New England. 

On Saturday, March 28 reenactors will circulate among the museum exhibits and grounds to create an immersive experience of revolutionary life. Guests can participate in hands-on period-specific activities and listen to reenactors debate politics, describe daily life, reminisce on military service, and much more. A scavenger hunt will guide visitors through interactive spaces where they can ask questions and engage with the exhibits and the people who once occupied them. Shop new and exclusive merchandise and see what your local museum can do for you!
