The National Road Festival is a blend of history, music, arts & crafts, food, children’s activities, fireworks and an authentic wagon train. This annual festival celebrates the historic National Road, the first federal road commissioned within the United States which helped to establish settlements from the East to the West. The festival is held the third weekend every May. Period clothing will be worn by many but is not required. Be sure to also discover our shoppes, restaurants, and beautiful scenery. Be sure to also check out local yard sales for antiques and other unique finds along route 40!
