Events
Participate in our variety of events throughout the year. From historical reenactments to educational workshops, there's always something happening at the George Taylor House.
Our biggest celebration is on July 4th, when visitors gather for the Annual Reading of the Declaration of Independence — honoring George Taylor’s legacy and the ideals he helped shape. As the 250th anniversary of 1776 approaches, this tradition continues to grow as a symbol of unity, remembrance, and local pride.
