Historic Rock Ford welcomes David and Ginger Hildebrand as they present a concert entitled “Music of the American Revolution: The 250th Anniversary.” The Hildebrands will don period attire to perform patriotic songs, ballads, dance tunes and theater songs known by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and others. They will explain and demonstrate their instruments, including the hammered dulcimer, violin, and Spanish and English guitars — interpreting various musical traditions, featuring both the formal and less refined aspects of music in early America.

The performance will be held on the piazza of the Hand Mansion with seating on the lawn. The performance area will open 45 minutes prior to the concert time. Seating is on a first-come basis. Guests should bring their own chairs (blankets are not recommended so that everyone may have a good view of the piazza). In the event of rain, this event will be held under the tent by the Rock Ford Barn.
