Fireworks: 1860s Style!

Grab your lawn chairs and pack your picnics for an evening of live music, stagecoach rides, apple pie, and 1860s fireworks! Fireworks begin at 9:15 p.m., accompanied by patriotic music and a reading of the Declaration of Independence. Please note, these are non-aerial fireworks and you must be on the Mahaffie grounds to see them.
