Old-Fashioned Fourth, July 4, 2010
at the Historic Nathan Lester House
Our family-oriented Independence Day gatherings have met with much success. This year our "Old-Fashioned Fourth" will take place Sunday, July 4, at the Nathan Lester House. The festivities will take place from 1 PM to 4:30 PM.
Enjoy lawn games, take a hike and explore the gardens, tour the house and barns. Bring a picnic and spend the afternoon. In case of inclement weather, there will be indoor activities. Come and bring the family. The Nathan Lester House and Farm Tool Museum is located at the intersection of Long Cove and Vinegar Hill Roads in Gales Ferry.

Be sure to stop by and see our display remembering the Vality department store! The Vality store operated in Gales Ferry from 1962 to 1984. Do you still have any merchandise with their labels? Do you have any photos you could share or could you write up some of your memories of shopping there? Please submit information or contact us here.
Be sure to stop by and tour our restored one-room schoolhouse, behind the main stage at the fair!
