Patriot Days, started in 2004, is an annual event held by the York County Heritage Trust, in conjunction with York City.  The event celebrates and honors York’s rich history in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War.  In the past, the event included Victorian teas, a play written for the event by local author, Scott Butcher, as well as reenactors and living historians of both eras.  Highlights from 2008 include performances of The Barnstormers and Rock Candy Cloggers, who invited the audience to join in a jug band performance, Matthew Dodd, who sang songs about the Civil War for families, a Conestoga Wagon and living historians who shared what life was like for those who travelled on the Monocacy Road through York in the 1700s, and a Victorian classroom experience.
