What better time to visit this special and historic place than the 4th of July? Yes, we decided to come for the Independence Day celebrations, and we were not alone.
The town was quite busy and almost all of the exhibits were open. It was also extremely hot, so I salute the staff in their colonial outfits who performed in uncomfortable weather.
Of course we bought the entry tickets, because the prices are quite reasonable, and we wanted to go inside the famous buildings like the Palace, the Capitol, the houses and the shops. Also we are supporting the upkeep of this important American treasure.
We have visited the site several times in the past, and we did notice that fewer places were functioning, somewhat due to the recovery from the covid virus. Finding a place to eat can be a challenge. We were able to eat dinner in the Kings Arms tavern, do the musket shooting, and tour almost the whole town.
The fireworks display was a fun and festive event, although it was a long walk back to the Visitors' Center.
