A SALUTE TO SOLDIERS THROUGH TIME

 July 4, 2015; 10-5pm  
 
    Join us as we honor our veterans and Lake County soldiers from
1776-present time this Independence Day! This timeline event highlights
our veterans, military history, and current military members. Our
grounds will be divided into progressing time periods to show the
lifestyle, entertainment, fashion, technology, military history, and
culture of each war period. An outdoor stage will feature performances
throughout history from Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry to a WWII D-Day
soldier. Our Event Barn will be transformed into a WWII canteen and
we'll watch the skies for vintage aircraft.

 
 Make sure to visit us this summer as this event will also serve as a
'last chance' viewing for our Civil War exhibit hall. All new exhibits
are coming in 2016. 


To obtain a Reenactor Registration Form, please contact us.

General admission is $6 for adults, $5 members, $3 for 12-6 years, 5 and
under free. Lake Health has generously sponsored this event to provide
free tickets to all veterans. All veterans are welcomed to this event,
please show ID card at the gate!
