The 4th of July celebration actually begins three weeks before with events nearly every night, culminating with the parade and a spectacular fireworks display over the harbor. To illustrate just how important the 4th of July is to Bristol people, most real estate listings will use a parade route location as a major selling feature for a home.
Bristol is also home to numerous museums. Brown University?s Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology featuring over 100,000 artifacts from the native peoples of the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific. The Herreshoff Marine Museum showcases the history of Bristol as a leader in the yacht building industry. The Blithewold mansion, originally the summer house of Pennsylvania coal baron, Augustus Van Wickle, is open for tours of the 45-room mansion and lush 33 acres of landscaped grounds and gardens. The mansion is decorated for the holidays and ?Christmas at Blithewold? during the entire month of December is a great time to visit this historic site.
Bristol has something to offer everyone, no matter what your taste, you?ll find it here.
