Welcome to the American Village! We invite you to step onto the stage of American history with our talented and passionate staff and explore the ideals of American liberty and self-government.

We hope you will be fully engaged and captivated as you experience stories of the past that become real, personal and relevant to who we are as Americans today.

Take risks as a Colonial spy, drill with Washington’s Army at Yorktown, visit with an American patriot, and take an exciting journey along with Paul Revere on the Road to Revolution.

Our public schedule varies day-to-day, so be sure to pick up a current copy of the daily schedule in the Gift Shop when you arrive. You may take advantage of any or all the vignettes listed, or choose to explore on your own.

Spring Season Schedule:

A Patriot Sampler

Mondays-Fridays, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Visitors may choose from a variety of activities ranging from learning about 18th Century justice or meeting an Apothecary in our herb garden, to playing Colonial games and discussing the events of the day with a famous patriot such as John Adams or Eliza Hamilton. Don’t miss out on your chance to step into the scenes of early American history and meet American heroes face to face!

Be sure to experience the multi-sensory West Wing of Independence Hall and see the original film “Choosing to be an American People.”

Festival of Tulips

Mondays-Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Sunday 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. (weather permitting)

Stroll through a field of 120,000 tulips, in all the colors of the rainbow. Pick the ones you want to keep – tulips are $2.00 each plus tax, and include both flower and bulb. Bring your family and friends and don’t forget your camera. The tulips and the American Village’s beautiful campus create a one-of-a-kind backdrop for photos.

When visiting the Festival of Tulips enter the front gate at the American Village and follow the signs to the parking lot directly beside the tulip field. You’ll pay admission and pay for the tulips you pick at the field.
