On June 12, guests at Buckley Homestead will step into an evening of lantern light, storytelling, and moments from America’s past brought to life around them.

Hope Lights the Way is a brand-new guided nighttime experience created as part of America’s 250th commemoration. As the sun sets, guests will travel throughout the park alongside a mysterious Storykeeper, encountering voices from different moments in history from the Revolution to the Civil Rights Movement and beyond.

Part performance, part reflection, part living history. Step out of the history books and right into the story.

Tours begin at 7:30 PM.
