Changing of the Guard at Fort Laurens

Watch members of the Sons of the American Revolution perform a formal Changing of the Guard ceremony at Fort Laurens. This traditional military-style demonstration takes place in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Patriot, with performances happening roughly every 15 to 20 minutes throughout the day. The event is free to watch from outside, making it an accessible way to experience a piece of American history. Families are welcome to attend, though organizers ask that visitors remain quiet and respectful during each ceremony. If your family wants to deepen the experience, a memorial service will be held the following day at 10:30 a.m., also free and open to the public. Whether you're interested in Revolutionary War history or simply looking for a unique outdoor activity, this event offers a solemn and educational experience.
