Join the JFK Presidential Library and Museum to honor the 250th anniversary of the country's revolution with a special visit from George and Martha Washington.

Kids and families can get a hands-on demonstration of a colonial printing press and explore its critical role in rallying support for the revolutionary cause, then press their own copy of the Declaration of Independence to take home.

Stage performances of Breakfast with the Washingtons, featuring Glen Siner and Sandy Spector, run 10:30 to 11:20am and again 12:30 to 1:20pm, with a chance for kids to ask George and Martha a question.

Between performances, from 11am to 2:30pm, families can enjoy hands-on-history maker activities, visit the special exhibit Declaring the Revolution, create a patch with local artist Amanda Davis for a collective American flag, and explore the Museum galleries.

Free admission to Museum galleries runs from 10am to 2pm for all visitors, and youths 17 and under are always free.

This is an inclusive program welcoming people with and without disabilities, and a Flexible Calming Space is available for anyone who needs a break, especially those experiencing sensory overload.
