SUMMARY:Historic Reading of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for a Historic Reading of the Declaration of Independence\n\nSunday\, July 19   11:00 a.m.\n\nWhy July 19?\n\nWhile we celebrate Independence Day on July 4\, the Declaration of Independence did not reach Albany until later. After New York's Provincial Congress approved independence on July 9\, Albany County's delegates sent a copy of the Declaration home. It arrived in Albany on July 17\, and on July 19\, 1776\, it was read publicly to the people of Albany and the surrounding communities.\n\nExactly 250 years later\, we invite you to experience that historic moment once again.\n\nJoin our local leaders as they read the Declaration of Independence aloud\, commemorating the first public reading in Albany. Come celebrate our shared history\, reflect on the ideals of liberty and self-government\, and enjoy refreshments afterward.\n\nDate: Sunday\, July 19\n\nTime: 11:00 am\n\nLocation: Town Hall Front Lawn\n\nRefreshments will be served.\n\nAll are welcome! Bring your family\, friends\, and neighbors as we commemorate this remarkable chapter in our nation's history.\n\n\nView it on website
