– An immersive play reenacting the historic debate
– Children’s activities
– Puppet shows
– Tours of Dumfries and the Weems-Botts Museum

This event offers an opportunity to learn about the historical significance of the Prince William Resolves. For more information, call 703-792-1731.

The second program, Tavern Night, will be held from 6 pm to 9 pm at Williams Ordinary, located at 17674 Main Street in Dumfries. This 21+ event will feature colonial music, reenactors, and 18th-century games.
