This concert serves as part of Historic Deerfield's ongoing efforts to uplift and honor African-American history through programs and partnerships within the community.
'We are honored to welcome Jake Blount for this year's Juneteenth celebration,' said John Davis, President of Historic Deerfield. 'His music speaks to the deep historical roots and enduring legacy of Black artistry in America. This concert is not only a commemoration of emancipation, but also an extension of our commitment to telling a fuller American story, a goal we've pursued through projects like the Witness Stones Project, which honors the lives of enslaved individuals in Deerfield's past.'
Tickets are available now, costing $25 for adults and $10 for children ages five to 17. Tickets cost $15 for Historic Deerfield members. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit
