TUESDAY-SATURDAY, JUNE 2 – AUGUST 1

This summer, celebrate America’s 250th Birthday by learning about America’s founding. American Village has partnered with America 250 Alabama to present stories of our Nation’s founding era, with special programming surrounding the Declaration of Independence.

On Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays:

The Independence Hall Experience is a guided program that begins at 10am and 1pm. We suggest you arrive at least 15 minutes before your chosen program start time. Accompanying the Independence Hall Experience, our costumed historical interpreters will present stories of ordinary people who lived in Boston during the time when tensions between the colonists and the British came to a breaking point.

If you happen to miss the 10am or 1pm start times, you may explore the American Village campus on your own, visit the National Veterans Shrine, the President’s Oval Office, Concord Bridge and the Freedom Trail, or the Randall Museum. Stop in the Merchants’ Coffee House and enjoy a beverage, snack or lunch, and join the program at the next start time.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays:

The program is a little lighter, with colonial games and a Continental Army encampment for young patriots to experience.
