Shelburne's
Celebration of the Declaration
Thursday, July 2, 2026
6:30 PM
Historic Town Hall, Shelburne
With song, humor, and patriotic spirit, Shelburne is celebrating the 250th year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
This event will feature our community neighbors as Jefferson, Adams and Franklin speaking to us about why we should no longer have been governed under a monarchy and how, under the threat of death, the treasonous act of writing and signing this Declaration started America on the path of Independence.
Plus, we’ll hear from men and women who directly experienced the trials of the Revolutionary War and the challenges they faced surviving in the wilds of northern Vermont.
To conclude, members of the Shelburne Community will read the Declaration of Independence.
Join us Thursday July 2nd, to start off your weekend of celebrating the 250 Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence!
As with all Pierson Library and Shelburne Historical events, there is no admission fee.
