Independence Day Celebration

We invite you to celebrate America’s birthday at Historic Hanna’s Town, a Revolutionary War settlement! Visit the fort/stockade and hear how Hanna’s Town was attacked and destroyed at the end of the Revolutionary War.  Witness the Declaration of Independence read aloud as it was in 1776.

This event is FREE to celebrate Independence Day. Visitors can explore our site by walking through Hanna’s Tavern and visiting the textile exhibit in the Murry Beacom log house and the Westmoreland 250 exhibit in the Kendra Gallery of the Westmoreland History Education Center.  You can walk our trails and enjoy signs about some of the women who contributed to the Revolutionary War effort in various ways. Reading of the Declaration of Independence will take place at 1:00 p.m.
