Celebrate America 250 and help us wrap up the 2026 Summer Reading Program with an evening full of old-fashioned fun for the whole family! Step back in time and experience a taste of colonial America with hands-on activities, sweet treats, and historic games everyone can enjoy together.
Guests will get to help make homemade ice cream from scratch — complete with plenty of delicious toppings — create a fun colonial-inspired craft, and try their hand at classic old-timey games that children and families enjoyed generations ago. Along the way, learn a little about daily life in early America while celebrating history in a playful and memorable way.
Come dressed in your best George Washington-inspired attire, colonial clothing, or patriotic colors and join the festivities. Whether you’re here for the games, the crafts, the ice cream, or the history, there’s something for everyone at this family-friendly celebration!
