You are cordially invited to a special commemorative 4th of July event in support of our nation’s 250th anniversary.
The Ghost of Julia: A Revolution Tale is a captivating one-woman performance that brings the American Revolution to life through the eyes of Julia Stockton Rush. Blending humor, history, and heartfelt storytelling, the play highlights the voices of women, the spirit of patriotism, and Julia’s connections to America’s founding generation.
Following the performance, guests are invited to a festive July celebration and closing reception for the acclaimed exhibition, America the Beautiful, featuring renowned photographer Clyde Butcher. Guests will enjoy a meet-and-greet and book signing with Clyde Butcher, refreshments, patriotic activities, a photo station, raffle opportunities, and more. This free community event is open to the public, and no registration is required.
We hope you will join us for this meaningful America250 event honoring the women, stories, and natural beauty that shaped our nation.
