Third Annual Colonial Fair at Historic Kenmore
Saturday, April 6
10:00am-4:00pm
Huzzah! Step back in time at Historic Kenmore’s Colonial Fair. The grounds will be festive and full of events to delight a variety of interests. Conjurer Peter Gardiner will surely enchant with his 18th-century magic tricks and Professor Horn will tickle the funny bone with his clever Punch and Judy Puppet Show.
Visitors can stroll the grounds while enjoying the sounds of 18th-century musical selections by Colonial Faire, and participate in colonial art lessons, tea tastings, walk-through house tours, see the new Bissell Gallery exhibit on Kenmore's history, try hands-on activities in the new children's Discovery Room, and visit with Living Historians of the Rappahannock Colonial Heritage Society as they facilitate 18th-century games and teach about colonial life.
With plenty of historical performances and immersive activities, the day promises to be full of enchantment and discovery for attendees of any age. Admission includes all activities and walk-through House tours: $15.00 for adults, $7.00 for students ages 6-17, and free for children 5 and under. Advanced ticket purchase strongly recommended.
Historic Kenmore is at 1201 Washington Avenue in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia.
