Description

In the middle of July 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read to the public at Huntington's Village Green. The crowd made an effigy of King George III, hung it from a Liberty Pole on the green, and then set fire to the "King" until the gunpowder-filled effigy exploded.

The free event will include a reenactment of the events that took place on the Village Green. There will also be children's activities. All ages welcome!
