Independence Day

Wednesday, 10:00am - 4:30pm

FREE TO THE PUBLIC all day! Join the Clark and Croghan families as they celebrate Independence Day 1816. General George Rogers Clark’s soldiers return to honor him and all who fought – and you can experience life 200 years ago. Hear readings of the Declaration of Independence throughout the day, and remember why we celebrate this day. Food and drink will be offered for sale, or bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the grounds. We'll have a small summer-reading book sale, with all books priced at only $2 for hardbacks and $1 for paperbacks.
Sponsored in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati and in memory of Downey M. Gray III and by Independence Bank
