Independence Day Celebration
11 am to 4 pm
The Joel Lane Museum House, “The Birthplace of Raleigh,” will sponsor its 23nd annual Independence Day Open House on Friday, July 4, 2014 from 11:00 am to 4 p.m. Admission is free, and donations are requested.
The museum will be open and staffed by costumed docents who will be available to answer questions. Live music will include the Triangle Folk Ensemble performing from 11 to 1:30. On the grounds, re-enactors will demonstrate various aspects of colonial life, and visitors will be able to participate in hands-on activities such as writing with a quill pen or making rag dolls. There will be old-fashioned crafts and games for the children and free lemonade for all. The garden in its full summer glory will be on view, and herbs and trees from the gardens will be for sale.
In addition to outdoor activities, the 1769 plantation manor house, the 1790 “kitchen” building, and the Visitors Center and Museum Store will be open. Please plan to stop by.
