On Saturday June 6, Mount Gulian Historic Site will hold its 30th Annual History Dinner from 4:30pm – 9:00pm in celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary of Independence from Great Britain. This living-history event is open to the public and will present General George Washington, Commander in Chief of the Continental Army.

The evening will showcase a catered affair, including a sumptuous four-course dinner inspired by General Washington’s culinary favorites. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served on the scenic riverside lawn prior to dinner.

Actor Doug Thomas, of the American Historical Theatre, will portray our honored guest. Diners will be invited to experience the world of our newly-forming nation and the Continental Army through the eyes of the General, and future First President, who remained faithful to the principles of Independence for which he and his country had fought. Guests will hear the General recount some of his famous moments during the struggle for American Independence, including The First Battle of Trenton, and his “Rules of Civility.” The General’s presentation will be followed by questions and answers.

The dinner, prepared by Bridgecreek Catering, will be served in Mount Gulian’s 18th century Dutch barn. Tickets are $185 per person. Prepaid reservations are required by May 16, 2026.
