SUMMARY:Sharing the Spirit of America: Community Reading of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Help make Hingham history!  As the bells ring from Hingham’s Memorial Bell Tower\, gather at the Old Ship Meetinghouse on July 8 – 250 years after the Declaration of Independence was first publicly read – to join a nationwide synchronized reading of America’s founding document.  The bells will ring at 5:30 PM; the formal program begins at 6:00 PM.  Readers will include Hingham leaders drawn from across the community to honor this historic moment. \nConsider walking to historic downtown Hingham with your friends and neighbors – as they would have in 1776!  A reception will follow the reading at the Hingham Community Center\, at 70 South Street. \nFor those with accessibility needs\, dropoff is available through the Hingham Cemetery\, at the gate behind the Memorial Bell Tower.  Limited nearby handicapped parking is available – those with a need should contact the Art Robert\, Assistant Town Administrator\, at 781.741.1541. \nFor more\, see our event video composed by Harbor Media\, or visit hingham250.org. \n  \n
