SUMMARY:Declaring Independence: Then & Now – Groton\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar for Saturday\, June 27 at 2:00 PM\, when the Groton History Center presents Declaring Independence: Then & Now at the Old Groton Meetinghouse (1 Powderhouse Road)\, built in 1755. This iconic landmark provides a fitting backdrop for an exploration of independence and interdependence. \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
