Visit us on April 12th as we commemorate the 270th anniversary of the French and Indian War. John Carlyle’s home was host to General Edward Braddock and five of the Royal Governors in April 1755. Learn about what happened at that meeting and how that affected the future of the 13 colonies. Living historians and hands-on activities will be available for visitors of all ages.  Admission is free, but a $5 donation is suggested.
