A Festive Farewell To Continental Congress and NINE MONTHS IN YORK TOWN

All events are free and open to the public. Lunch vendors will be on-site throughout the event. At 1 p.m., the three County Commissioners -in costumes of 1778- will board a horse-drawn carriage at the Colonial Court House and travel down West Market Street to the Square marking the departure of Congress from York Town.
