Step back into history and celebrate America 250 at Fairfield Archaeology Park on July 3, 2026, from 10 AM–4 PM. Join Fairfield Foundation for their largest public archaeology event featuring live excavations, traditional crafts like blacksmithing and brickmaking, music, and interactive experiences that explore life during the American Revolution.

Visitors can also take part in a mini Fourth of July parade inspired by one of the earliest Independence Day parades, which began right here in Gloucester. Bring the family and enjoy a day of history, archaeology, and community celebration at Fairfield Archaeology Park, 5777 Fairfield Lane.
