Independence Day is right around the corner.

If you're looking to celebrate the holiday in a more historic manner, you might want to check out the Colonial Heritage Festival. It's a chance to take a real-life step back in time to taste, see and hear what it was really like during America's colonial days.

Maria Shilaos sat down with Chairperson Kim Gardner to learn how we can immerse ourselves into this patriotic event.
