Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in Virginia with a living history event at George Washington’s Ferry Farm! Inside the Washington House, delve into the years leading up to the revolution, culminating in the pivotal year of 1774.
In each room, interactive living history stations will portray various aspects of 18th-century life. Guests can try their hand at a card game while learning about the Stamp Act or watch a dance demonstration to gain insight into 18th-century social life. Learn why this significant period spurred Virginians, including George Washington, to rally behind the revolutionary cause.
