From Revolution to Reflection: Flag Day at the Ross Farm

Celebrate Flag Day at the Ross Farm - where history comes to life. 🇺🇸

As part of Bernards Township’s America 250 initiative, we’re proud to host this special community event marking the beginning of a season of reflection, celebration, and connection.

Join us on Saturday, June 13 for From Revolution to Reflection: Flag Day at the Ross Farm - a free, family-friendly open house that brings together history, music, and community in one of Basking Ridge’s most meaningful historic settings.

This event reflects the spirit of the America 250 initiative, bringing together local organizations, neighbors, and visitors to explore our shared history and look ahead toward a “more perfect Union.”

Whether you come for an hour or spend the day with us, we invite you to be part of something special. Meander the flag displays, visit the historic home, enter the historic recipes contest, and enjoy live music from Desmond Diehl at 1 p.m. and a headlining set at 4 p.m. featuring a band we can't wait to announce in the coming weeks!

No tickets are required, but if you claim a free ticket and get registered, you'll receive a reminder about the event via email.

Info: Gates open - Explore the Farm, stroll through the impressive display of flags, and check out art in the barn
