SUMMARY:Newburyport 250 Declaration of Independence Day: The Die Is Cast
DESCRIPTION:Commemoration of the 250th anniversary of Newburyport’s first reading of the Declaration of Independence\, with readings\, music\, reenactors and more. \nThe Museum of Old Newbury\, in Newburyport\, MA\, in partnership with the Custom House Maritime Museum\, Lowell’s Boat Shop\, the First Religious Society\, Theater in the Open\, the City of Newburyport\, the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce and many more community partners\, will present Newburyport 250 Declaration of Independence Day: The Die Is Cast on Sunday\, July 19\, 2026\, in Market Square\, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence in Newburyport. \nSponsored in part by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT) as part of the statewide MA250 campaign. \nAt a glance: \nWhat: A public commemoration of the 250th anniversary of Newburyport’s first reading of the Declaration of Independence\, with readings\, music\, reenactors\, family-friendly activities\, a waterfront salute by two schooners\, and more. \nWhen: Sunday\, July 19\, 2026; 1:45 p.m. procession\, 2:00 p.m. program \nWhere: Brown Square to Market Square\, with a stop at FRS UU Church\, followed by a waterfront observance and family friendly activities. \nIncludes: Community readings\, Revolutionary soldiers\, sailors\, and colonial-era townspeople\, ceremonial music and salutes\, the arrival of two schooners honored by privateers on board\, public access to the schooners until 5:30 p.m.\, and activities for families. \nOn July 19\, 1776\, the people of Newburyport assembled at the Meetinghouse then standing in Market Square to hear the Declaration of Independence read aloud for the first time. In the aftermath of that extraordinary moment\, patriot and future Senator Tristram Dalton wrote to Elbridge Gerry\, “The die is cast. All is at stake. The way is made plain.” \nThat plain way was not peace\, comfort\, or certainty. It was sacrifice. War had already touched Newburyport for more than a year\, but the Declaration transformed resistance into resolve. It proclaimed before the world that Americans were entitled to “Life\, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness\,” and most Newburyporters were prepared to defend those rights at any cost. \nTwo hundred and fifty years later\, Newburyport will gather again to remember that turning point in the life of the town and the nation. The day will begin at 1:45 p.m. with a procession from Brown Square to Market Square\, including a stop at FRS UU Church\, before the public commemoration begins at 2:00 p.m. in the heart of downtown. This anniversary observance invites the public to stand where earlier generations stood and to hear once more the words that changed the course of our history. \nThe program will bring together neighbors and friends\, past and present\, along with Revolutionary soldiers\, sailors\, colonial-era townsfolk\, and special guests\, for a public reading of the Declaration of Independence. With music\, salutes\, and ceremonial observances\, the event will honor those who\, in 1776\, pledged to each other their “Lives\, Fortunes\, and sacred Honor” in the defense of liberty. \nFollowing the Market Square program\, participants will proceed to the waterfront to greet the arrival of the Schooner Ardelle and the Schooner Isabella. There\, the commemoration will continue with salutes by privateers on board\, recalling the maritime world in which Newburyport lived\, fought\, and sacrificed during the Revolution. The schooners will remain in port and available to the public until 5:30 p.m. \nAs the nation marks the 250th anniversary of American independence\, Newburyport 250 Declaration of Independence Day: The Die Is Cast offers a chance not only to remember the past\, but to renew a shared civic promise. It is a day to reflect on the cost of freedom\, the courage of those who declared it\, and the enduring obligation to defend the rights and principles for which they risked everything. \nEvent is free\, donations appreciated!

SUMMARY:The Noble Train  Arrives
DESCRIPTION:During the winter of 1775-76\, Henry Knox’s “Noble Train of Artillery” passed through several nearby towns en route from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston. There\, the 59-pieces of captured British ordinance\, hauled 300 miles over frozen rivers and snow-covered mountains by oxen and horse\, played a crucial role in forcing the British evacuation of the city in the Spring of 1776.  \nIn commemoration of the 250th anniversary of Knox’s remarkable achievement\, this extraordinary feat will come to life on the grounds of the historic Thomas Smith House as costumed educators from Fort Ticonderoga\, with (non-firing) cannon and live oxen\, present engaging oratory and dramatic demonstrations.  \nThis fascinating living history event is perfect for the whole family!  \nThe c. 1757 Thomas Smith House and 1920 Delmore Hawthorne Garage will also be open for tours that afternoon.  \nThis event is free and open to the public.  \nThis program is supported in part by a grant from the Agawam Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.
