Looking for something to do before the fireworks begin? Why not celebrate the 4th the 1830's way? Pack a picnic lunch (or get takeout from your favorite Elizabeth, IL restaurant), sit back, and enjoy the show! Listen to a dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence, enlist in the Fort's militia (you might win a signing bonus!), cool off with a water race, and more!
