The celebration will feature 18th-century music performed by the living-history acoustic duo Doug Marshall and Lauren Smith, a dance performance by the Rappahannock Colonial Heritage Society dancers, and cake in honor of Monroe’s birthday. The museum’s galleries also will be open free of charge during the event.
