About

This Fourth of July holiday, salute the 249th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence during Liberty Celebration at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown.

Whether exploring the indoor galleries or outdoor living history, appreciate these Fourth of July experiences:

• Catch “Liberty Fever” – the museum’s award-winning introductory film, shown throughout the day in the main theater.

• Discover the powerful stories behind the Declaration of Independence in an immersive gallery exhibit surrounded by signatures of this historic document’s signers.

• From artillery firings to cooking demonstrations, engage with historical interpreters in outdoor re-creations of a Continental Army encampment and Revolution-era farm.

• Share your thoughts on liberty by adding them to the “Liberty Tree,” an interactive feature on a 17-foot sculptural tree, rooted in the museum galleries.
