Piatt Castle’s Historical Independence Day Celebration

Commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by attending a 19th century style Independence Day celebration outside at Piatt Castle Mac-A-Cheek. Bring a picnic lunch, learn how to play period games such as cricket and roll hoops, enjoy poems and storytelling about July 4th customs, and listen to the Declaration of Independence read. At the end of the day make “firecrackers” and watch them fly, and help make the cannon boom. Turn our free outdoor event into your family fun day!
