Kiplin Hall and Gardens, just 15 minutes from Scotch Corner, will host the "America 1776 Live" event on August 22 and 23, 2026, bringing to life the sights, sounds, and stories of the American Revolution in the grounds of the Jacobean hall.

Though the event commemorates the 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States, Kiplin Hall is also careful to acknowledge the broader historical context, including the lives of Native American peoples long before European colonisation. America 1776 Live is included with standard day tickets and annual membership to Kiplin Hall and Gardens. Kiplin Hall and Gardens is open six days a week and closes on Thursdays.
