Historical reenactors prepare for the nation’s 250th birthday
2:03
A cast of Ben Franklins, John Adamses, and Betsy Rosses — actors who have spent months and uprooted their lives to learn about and live as colonial America’s key characters — will be at the frontlines of the 250th birthday celebrations. This set of actors are part of Historic Philadelphia’s Once Upon a Nation program – a series of performances staged throughout the summer and beyond in Independence National Historical Park and at Valley Forge. It’s Once Upon a Nation’s 21st season, but this year is expected to be one of its biggest ever, with the most actors, plays, scripts, and events.
