Laurel Hill, Ormiston, and Woodford Mansions open their doors for a special celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the United States.

The family-friendly event will feature costumed reenactments, colonial crafts, live music, lawn games, and other activities—all offering a rare glimpse into life in 1776. Colonial costumes encouraged!

Free Parking, Free Shuttles:

Pick up at the shuttle at any of the three houses; additional parking at Mt. Pleasant Mansion along 3800 Mt Pleasant Drive where the shuttle loop begins. Limited onsite parking available at Ormiston and Woodford Mansion. Those taking public transportation should head to Woodford first and get the shuttle there.

This event takes place on historic grounds that are not wheelchair accessible due to natural terrain and preservation rules. Contact Ava Locks at [email protected] ahead of time to discuss available assistance options.
