Spend the Summer at Gunston Hall!
Join us for a special edition of our annual Summer Saturdays, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States. Each all-day program features a civics-focused theme that connects history to today—exploring George Mason’s ideas and what it means to be American during this semi-quincentennial year.
Enjoy hands-on crafts, games, and activities for all ages, along with snacks, music, and community partners throughout the day.
Come play, learn, and celebrate with us!
