INDEPENDENCE DAY
The Homeplace
Tuesday, July 4, 1pm - 4pm

flag image Enjoy an afternoon of holiday fun and entertainment at The Homeplace as we celebrate one of the biggest holidays in the 1850s, Independence Day. Festivities kick off with a visit from the popular Kentucky statesman, Henry Clay, as he regales us with stories of his life: his adventures as a Kentucky senator, Speaker of the House, Secretary of State, and his unsuccessful run for the presidency. Then let the games begin! Join in on the fun! Play old-time games, enjoy a cool slice of watermelon, and cool off under the shade of the maple trees while enjoying music and a few tall tales. The day will end with a bang as a paper hot air balloon is launched into the sky to celebrate the biggest holiday of the 1850s, Independence Day. Henry Clay is portrayed by George McGee and the program is funded in part by the Kentucky Humanities council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
