Admission for the July 4th Celebration is free, thanks to generous sponsor Pamby Motors! Discover the historic tavern museum at your own pace, check out Summering with the Gilberts: Leisure & Labor in the Early 20th Century in the Gilbert Wing of the museum, enjoy family activities in the historic carriage barn, and listen to live music on the tented terrace: progressive bluegrass by the always popular Angry O’Haras! Cool off with a delicious slice of free watermelon for all.
A scavenger hunt plus games and crafts on the front lawn are designed especially for younger visitors. And don't miss the dunk tank, where visitors get a shot at dunking a costumed “King George III.”
At 2 p.m., KTM&HC will join organizations and individuals throughout Ridgefield, the state, and the nation in a coordinated bell ringing: “Let Freedom Ring” is a long-standing tradition where groups ring bells 13 times at 2 p.m. on the Fourth of July to celebrate our country’s freedom and independence. Following the bell ringing, there will be a dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence, a reminder of the words and the promise that shaped our county.
