/America's 250th birthday is Saturday, July 4, 2026. The Stagecoach Inn invites you to a fun celebration with children’s old-time games, crafts, music, prizes and more that day from 1 to 4PM in celebration of Independence Day and the historical opening of the Grand Union Hotel (aka Stagecoach Inn) in July 1876.
Enjoy free ice cream (while supplies last), craft making and live music while cooling your heels exploring the museum complex both indoors and out. Also there will be line dancing with the Ventucky Stompers.

Some of the items that may be demonstrated include a sausage stuffer, butter churner, miniature sewing machine for travel, iron and laundry equipment, woodworking tools and working blacksmith forge.
“Can you Spot” items will be placed around the property for the kids to find.
