SUMMARY:Declaring Independence: Then & Now – Princeton\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Experience Declaring Independence: Then & Now on Saturday\, May 16 at 4:30 PM\, hosted by the Princeton Historical Society and Princeton Historical Commission at the First Congregational Church of Princeton (14 Mountain Road). A guided community conversation will follow\, offering space to reflect and share perspectives. \nDeclaring Independence: Then & Now brings to life the Declaration of Independence as a forum for civic dialogue and engagement through a forty-minute performance and ensuing moderated community conversation. The script\, written by public historian Mary B. Fuhrer\, utilizes primary source material researched by citizen historians to reveal how individuals within Massachusetts towns debated and responded to the question of independence in the spring and summer of 1776\, followed by an annotated reading of the Declaration itself. \nIn commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, 15 community-hosted performances are scheduled across the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area during the spring and summer of 2026. Find a performance near you! \nDeclaring Independence: Then & Now is supported\, in part\, by the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati
