INDEPENDENCE DAY
The Homeplace
July 4
1pm - 4pm

Enjoy an afternoon of holiday fun and entertainment at The Homeplace as we celebrate one of the biggest holidays in the1850's, 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! Play old-time games; enjoy a cool slice of watermelon, cool 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.

DETAILS: : Ages 5-12: $2 Ages 13 & up: $4 Ideal for Home Educators. Henry Clay is played by George McGee and the program is funded in part by the Kentucky Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
