Independence Day

Event Details

Celebrate Independence Day and Civic Season in Kentucky, this July 4th!

As a Made By Us Civic Season partner, we’re diving into the many meanings of independence. How did different people across time view freedom, and what did it mean to them?

Listen to firsthand accounts of early American independence with a reading of the abridged Declaration of Independence, and Frederick Douglass’s powerful What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July? Enjoy hands-on activities for kids, explore our historic house, and be a part of Civic Season!
