Celebrate America’s 250th birthday with a special stop at the Deacon John Grave House, 581 Boston Post Road, after Madison’s Fourth of July parade.
On display for one day only will be Madison’s remarkable 38-star U.S. flag, believed to have hung from the Hull Building on Wall Street during parade days past. Because of its fragile condition, this historic flag has not been publicly exhibited for many years.
Enjoy light refreshments while costumed docents share the story behind this extraordinary artifact. Then test your knowledge with an 1876 U.S. history trivia quiz for a chance to win our “250 Years of Summer Fun” party basket, filled with historic games, toys, and tasty treats.
The exhibit is open from the end of the parade until 2:30 p.m. We hope you’ll join us for this memorable Independence Day tradition!
