A Great Day at General Patton’s Homestead!
The mission of this public event is to highlight and honor military service and veterans.
The event is a day-long exhibition of vintage military vehicles, equipment, military reenactors, speakers – both veterans and academics – and other veteran-related attractions, held on the grounds of the home of one of America’s most famous and celebrated military families. The day also recognizes and honors the 100th anniversary of the A.P. Gardner American Legion Post in its efforts to support veterans and their families in Hamilton MA. Admission is FREE to the public.
In addition, A.P. Gardner Post 194 hopes to bring public awareness to the Town of Hamilton Patton Homestead itself, which is guided by a non-profit Patton Homestead Inc. Board of Directors, and to promote the Wenham Museum’s Patton Family Archive, which is located in the Homestead.

Patton, WWII, his son General George Smith Patton, Korea, Vietnam, Black Horse Air (helicopter) Cavalry, and his wife Joanne Holbrook Patton, a pioneer Army Social Services innovator during the Vietnam War.
