Lees & Independence: July 4 Family Fun Festival

Join us on July 4 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for our annual Lees and Independence Family Fun Festival! FREE to the public. Come and celebrate the 4th of July at the home of the only brothers who signed the Declaration of Independence.

We will be having a wide range of family-friendly activities in front of the Great House including fun and educational history tents, colonial games, a sign your own Declaration of Independence activity, and a scavenger hunt for kids!

Meet Richard Henry Lee, take a free tour of the Great House, explore the beach and identify fossils with the help of the complimentary fossil identification sheets, or take a ride on Teakle’s barrel-train ride (fun for both children and adults!).
