Night in Washington’s Day
November 4, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$15
Experience the 18th century in a whole new light!
This year, we’ve got a brand-new take on our annual Night in Washington’s Day Program. Explore the illuminated grounds, 1775 mansion, and outbuildings of Historic Kenmore to see how surprisingly active nights were in the 18th century.
Visitors of all ages will experience the dining, dancing, and drinking of the gentry and hear the words of the enslaved people who worked day and night on the property.
The Rappahannock Colonial Heritage Society will perform a dancing demonstration, a Taverner will share what life was like in the taverns, and apple cider and our famous gingerbread will be served.
Guests will see firsthand the ingenious ways rooms were lit up on 18th century evenings. Hands-on activities will recreate an up-close look at lighting techniques. It’s a night transformed from fearful darkness to an illuminated extension of liveliness in history!
