Old Fashion Independence Day Celebration at Millbrook Village

Saturday, June 28, 2008 – 10 AM to 4 PM

Celebrate the Two Hundred Thirty Second Anniversary of our independence at the fifth annual Independence Day Celebration at Millbrook Village.

Join the townsfolk in the Independence Day Parade down Main Street and gather at the green in front of the general store for a patriotic speech given by this year’s honorary celebrity, Professor Corbin Rory, well known in the county for his wit and humor.

Make a hat and a flag and bring your kazoo, tin whistle or drum. Wear your patriotic clothes and have fun as it was a century ago. Got an instrument? Bring it along and help ‘liven things up. Enter the watermelon eating contest after the one o’clock parade for some refreshing fun. Everyone is invited to the frolic; kids of all ages are welcome!

There will be lots of old time games for the kids of all ages to enjoy throughout the day as well as tours and demonstrations all around town. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the day at Millbrook.

Relax in the shade with a picnic lunch, meet a new friend, learn about our history. Step back to a quieter time with us.

The event is presented by the Millbrook Village Society in cooperation with the National Park Service. The event will be held rain or shine. Food is not available at the site, so plan accordingly. Picnic and rest room facilities are available.

Mr. Bob Rourke, a renowned collector and connoisseur of Native American artifacts, will exhibit a part of his collection at the Independence Day Celebration throughout the day.

As usual, everything is free of charge and is family oriented.

Other Events

In addition to Millbrook Days, we also meet once each month on the 2nd  Wednesday of each month at Millbrook Village in the Van Campen House, and we have a Christmas event at the church in Millbrook, an annual dinner in November, and an annual picnic in July. We've also added some new fall events for kids (interpretation here is loose, a kid can be anyone from 1 to 92 after all) - the Octivities , and a special Christmas activity day. Most events are absolutely FREE!  We do have donations boxes in various buildings in the village for those wishing to lend financial support for our activities. We are a very low overhead society and all funds go into the betterment of the village.
