4th of July In Furnace Town

SNOW HILL, MD. Come join Furnace Town Living History Museum for a day of community fun and patriotism on the 4th of July. This year, celebrate America’s birthday in a traditional 19th Century fashion. This is sure to be a fun filled day for the whole family! Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy under the Patriot’s Pavilion. Then walk over to the Old Nazareth Church from 12:00-2:00 to enjoy the sounds of the Royal Oak Musicians, an acoustic folk group, as they perform traditional and contemporary folk music as well as waterman’s shanties. Play traditional games, such as the Games of Graces and Bean Bag Toss. Do arts and crafts, like weaving red, white, and blue yarn on a loom. Stay and hear our Crier read from the Declaration of Independence. Learn about the history of the Fourth of July and some of its symbols, like the variations of the American flag over the years. Walk our grounds and visit our artisans...and so much more! The festivities begin at 11:00 and last until 3:00. A fun filled day for all guaranteed!

Also, what says America like apple pie? So bring in your pies and let us be the judge of who has the best pie around. It does not have to be apple, we also like blueberry, peach, cherry...well, you get the idea (please, NO cream pies). No pre-registration necessary to enter our pie contest.
