Since 1976, **St. John’s Church Foundation** has presented historical reenactments of the Second Virginia Convention of March 1775 at its original location. Professional actors portray nine delegates — including Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington — who engage in the arguments of the Second Virginia Convention, leading to Patrick Henry’s immortal words **"Give me liberty or give me death!"**

March 23, 2025 is the 250th anniversary of the Second Virginia Convention and Patrick Henry's speech. St. John's Foundation is doing 3 reenactments that day with special guests. We are going to the 3:30 p.m. reenactment. You should get your ticket ASAP. The first reenactment that day is already sold out.

Tickets are $25. You may purchase your ticket online [HERE](https://www.historicstjohnschurch.org/events/250th-anniversary).

**Schedule:**

2:30 PM - We will meet in the church yard and get in line (the line usually starts forming by this time if not earlier). Please allow time for parking (there is street parking around the church). There is a reenactment at 1:30 p.m.; therefore, parking may be hard to find.

3:00 PM - Doors open, seating is first-come, first-served (ushers will seat us, so we will be unable to save seats if you come after we are seated).

3:30 PM - Introductions begin, followed by bell ringing and a call to order for the delegates. **There is no entry once the bell rings.**

4:30 PM - Performance is over and the delegates meet the people in the yard.

After the reenactment, we will go to dinner at Liberty Public House located at 418a N. 25th Street in Richmond. It is about 2 blocks from the church. The menu is available [online](https://www.lphrva.com/general-1).
