Old Fashion Independence Day Celebration at Millbrook Village

Saturday, June 29, 2019 -
10:00am to 3:00pm

Celebrate the 243rd anniversary of our independence at the annual Independence Day Celebration at Millbrook Village. Join the townsfolk in the parade down Main Street at 1pm and gather at the green in front of the general store for a patriotic speech given by one of our local celebrities. Make a hat and a flag, bring your tin whistle or drum, wear you patriotic clothes and enjoy yourself. Got an instrument? Bring it along and help liven things up. Enter the watermelon eating contest after the parade for some refreshing fun. Everyone is invited to the frolic; kids of all ages are welcome! There will be lots of things going on throughout the village all day. Old time games for the kids and tours of the village and demonstrations all around town. You'll find it fun and interesting. Bring a picnic lunch and relax in the shade for a spell. Meet a new friend, learn about our history and take in the experience of a quieter time. 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. Restroom and picnic facilities are available. As usual, everything is free of charge and is family oriented. Please visit our Millbrook village Society on Face book for information, or call 908-537-2544 or 973-875-3461.

Millbrook Village

Millbrook Village is a representation of a late 19th Century rural community, rather than an exact restoration of the original Millbrook that has its origins in an 1832 grist mill that soon was surrounded by other businesses and homes.
