What is Open and Closed in Hamilton and Wenham on the Fourth of July?

Independence Day is a federal holiday on Thursday.

It's the Fourth of July on Wednesday - officially known as Independence Day - which means some businesses are closed, others have limited hours and others are open with regular hours. The best bet is to call ahead to check - you can use Patch's directory page to find the phone number for any local business - but here’s a wrap-up of some of the businesses and government offices that you are most likely to be wondering whether it is open or not.
