What To Do on the 4th of July - A Great Idea!

Public Reading of the Declaration of Independence

On July 4 citizens of all ages are invited to join Portsmouth resident Anne B. Wagner fora public reading of the Declaration of Independence. Meet at 9:30, rain or shine, at the BlueStar Memorial Garden on the Portsmouth Library grounds. Each person is encouraged to readaloud a marked section of the document. Copies will be provided. Reading the words of this historic document reminds us of the bold action of Colonial citizens who did not anticipate fighting a war, but only sought relief from a dictatorial government. This is the document that set us on the road to a unique form of government, a union of large and small colonies each having representation.The event is free and open to the public.
