Hear ye! Hear ye! A declaration from the Second Continental Congress! Thus will begin, on July 4 at 11:00 a.m., the reading of the Declaration of Independence from the stage in Maxwell Library Park, 1708 Third ST, adjacent to the Main Tillamook County Library.
A group of 21 women and men will take turns reading the letter that announced, to the nations of the world, the birth of a new nation. And delineated the grievances that led to the birth. Although the Revolution was already more than a year old, the Declaration of Independence was an official statement, by the colonies, of detachment from Great Britain and the formation of the United States of America.
The Tillamook reading will celebrate 250 years since the first reading on July 4, 1776.
