Public reading of the Declaration of Independence

On July 8th at 6pm Fort Mifflin will be taking part in a simultaneous reading for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence . The readings will be taking place in all 50 states, 5 territories, the District of Columbia and minor outlying islands of the United States.

Even though the United States is spread across thousands of miles and ten different time zones, all of us in America may read the Declaration of Independence ‘together’, at the ‘same’ time. Unlike the extent of the Colonies in 1776, today, America spans about 9,500-miles from one extreme to the other (the Caribbean across North America to the western edge of the Pacific).
