On Friday April 26, beginning at 11:00 am, the park, in partnership with the United States Citizen and Immigration Service, will be hosting a naturalization ceremony for 60 new American citizens. This ceremony will take place inside Patriot’s Hall. This is a wonderful family event to witness new citizens take the oath of citizenship.

Next, on Saturday April 27, from 10 am until 3 pm, park staff and volunteers will be hosting a Junior Ranger Day event. This event will offer a variety of hands-on demonstrations, including playing 18^th century toys and games, colonial food and beverage demonstrations, historic weapons demonstrations, and more! Junior Rangers and their families will also have the opportunity to earn not one, not two, but three separate Junior Ranger badges and patches. If Junior Rangers finish all three programs, they can earn a separate Master Junior Ranger badge!
