Join us at the Hickory Ridge History Museum for our Independence Day Celebration and Continental Army Encampment on June 29th and 30th!

Experience the American Revolutionary War era with a Continental Army Recruitment, meet Colonel Francis Nash, check out artillery demonstrations, and enjoy a Guilford Courthouse Drums and Fife concert. A highlight will be the Declaration of Independence reading, followed by 13 toasts with musket and cannon fire, and the symbolic flag change from a British flag to a Betsy Ross flag.

This event is a unique opportunity to step back in time and celebrate our nation's heritage. Bring your family and friends for an awesome weekend of historical reenactments and patriotic celebrations!
