Outdoor Events

The Patton Homestead is an excellent venue for outdoor events, and for veterans and arts programming.

Each July, Military Service Day at the Homestead honors our veterans and military personnel with lively tank and helicopter demonstrations, ceremonies honoring veterans, lectures, and historical re-enactments.

During the spring and fall, our Sunset Music Series comes alive with local musicians and food truck offerings; and in the winter, families bring their children to our “great lawn sledding hill” to make some unforgettable memories in the snow!
