America’s birthday falls on a Tuesday this year — which means no long weekend — but that’s not gonna stop us from celebrating.
Here are four free ways to commemorate July 4 around LOU.
Independence Day Celebration: Summer on the Farm | Spend the holiday at Locust Grove from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for 19-century-style fun, like public readings of the Declaration of Independence.
