SUMMARY:Reading the Declaration of Independence at the North Bridge
DESCRIPTION:“And for the support of this Declaration\, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence\, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives\, our Fortunes\, and our sacred Honor.”\n\nOn April 19\, 1775 the Revolutionary War began at Lexington and Concord. Fourteen months later\, on July 4\, 1776 the Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia adopted the Declaration of Independence\, permanently separating the 13 North American colonies from Great Britain. The war had taken on new meaning.Join us at Concord’s North Bridge\, site of the “shot heard round the world”\, at 2:30 p.m. on July 4th\, as we commemorate Independence Day. Hear the Declaration of Independence read by park volunteer Ed Hurley. Reflect on what it meant to those first hearing it in 1776 and what it means to us today. We will conclude the reading with a musket firing salute from 10th Massachusetts Regiment. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Friends of Minute Man National Park
