I live in an area close to many sites of historic relevance to the US. One of them is Mount Vernon, the estate of George Washington. While it can be visited throughout the year, several special annual events will make the visit more worthwhile. I have attended two such events a number of times - the 'Revolutionary War Weekend' in May, and the 'Fall Harvest Festival' in October. Unfortunately, the weather prevented me from attending the May event this year.

Another two interesting things to visit at Mount Vernon (although not at the main site but not far from it) are the reconstructed distillery and gristmill, both using recipes and processes from Washington's time. The produced whiskey and flour can be purchased from the museum's shop :-)
This photo is from inside the distillery:

Thank you, Radu!
I got it at the end of June - it replaced my original Z6.
