A Taste of History: An Evening of Revolutionary War Legacy

Join Us for a Unique Historical Experience! 7:00 – 9:00 PM | March 18, 2025Riverside Lodge Ballroom

Step back in time for an evening of rich history, fine wine, and delectable desserts as we uncover the story of North America’s first military industrial site—Hunter’s Iron Works. Located just two miles downstream from our Celebrate homes, this historic site played a pivotal role in the American Revolution, producing nearly 85% of the weapons used by the colonial forces.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a national initiative is underway to preserve and interpret Hunter’s Iron Works for future generations. Join historian Jerrilynn MacGregor and key preservation team members as they share insights into this remarkable site and the ambitious plans for its grand reopening in the summer of 2026.

A Williamsburg historian once noted, “Without Hunter’s Iron Works, the United States may not have emerged.” This evening is your chance to learn why this site was so crucial to America’s fight for independence and how you can be part of its preservation.

What to Expect:

• A captivating discussion on the historical significance of Hunter’s Iron Works

• The latest updates on the preservation efforts leading to the 2026 grand opening

• A delightful selection of desserts and wines to enjoy as you engage with fellow history enthusiasts
