Public Reading of the Declaration of Independence

Public Reading of the Declaration of Independence

When: Saturday, July 4th from 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM

Location: WWI Doughboy Memorial, Bicentennial Green at Old Stone Bridge, Main Road, Tiverton, RI 02878

This public reading is not like any other; those present are encouraged to read a marked passage from the Declaration so “We the People” can all participate! Prior to the reading, a brief history of events of past years, including those leading up to the creation of the Declaration are recounted. This typically takes less than a half hour, so you’ll have plenty of time to celebrate the rest of the weekend! (Held rain or shine)
