The Morris-Jumel Mansion invites you to Roger Morris Park to enjoy a free family movie night. Bring a blanket, beach chairs, snacks, and drinks and enjoy this summer night tradition. Movie will start when the sun has gone down (approx. 8 PM). No tickets or registration required.
About the Movie: “McFarland, USA” (Rated PG)
Track coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) is a newcomer to a predominantly Latino high-school in California’s Central Valley. Coach White and his new students find that they have much to learn about one another, but things begin to change when White realizes the boys’ exceptional running ability. More than just physical prowess drives the teens to succeed; their strong family ties, incredible work ethic and commitment to their team all play a factor in forging these novice runners into champions.
Our outdoor movie venue is “Leave No Trace” so please be sure to clean up what you brought in.
