The Friends of Land Between the Lakes invite you enjoy an old-fashioned afternoon of fun on Independence Day—one of the biggest holidays in the 1850s ! Celebrate Independence Day at the Homeplace from 1 – 4pm on Thursday, July 4, 2019. The Homeplace is located at at 4512 The Trace, Dover, Tennessee, 37058. Admission is $5 for ages 13 and up; $3 for ages 5 – 12; and free for ages 4 and under.
The festivities begin with a group reading of the Declaration of Independence and raising a 30-star flag. Savor a cool slice of watermelon, and take part in historic outdoor competitions and games. Make a classic craft and help with patriotic toasts and tributes, all in celebration of America’s birthday.
Weather permitting, the event will conclude with a small hot air or “smoke balloon” launch.
Fourth grade students can go to https://everykidinapark.gov/ to receive a free Every Kid in a Park pass, and get their family in for free. For more information, call the Homeplace at 931.232.6457.
