Declaration of Independence Reading

The Declaration of Independence reading will be on the steps on the Plymouth Town Hall. A joint event between Pease Public Library, Plymouth Historical Society, and our local town government. This will be part of a nationwide simultaneous reading, commemorating the reading on July 8, 1776, in Phili. We will have people from all walks of life read. We’ll also have posters in the area and with our partners with questions about revolutionary actions & others to bring those questions in to the present, where people can add their ideas. 

This event is made possible by New Hampshire Humanities, in partnership with NHPBS, with additional support provided by Cogswell Benevolent Trust. By the People: Conversations Beyond 250 is a series of community driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. The initiative was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
