Would you like to experience Independence Day at the final home of Virginia’s first governor? Come spend this July 4th at the “garden spot of the world,” Patrick Henry’s Red Hill!

Before enjoying a fantastic fireworks display, grab a bite to eat from one of our many on-site food vendors, enjoy face painting for the kids, hear incredible live music, and tour Patrick Henry’s home, grave, and museum.
