250th Anniversary Reading of the Declaration of Independence at Stamford History Center

 4th of July is back on the Steps of Hoyt-Barnum, Stamford’s oldest dwelling, celebrating 250 years of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and Rick Petersen returns as your guide as General Putnam at 10 am sharp! He will be traveling through time to invite some notable figures throughout history including Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady-Stanton, who will be delivering their famous speeches.  We will also be offering tours of the Hoyt-Barnum House.

Our cast is outfitted by Sophia’s Costumes and Gifts in Cos Cob. Cabaret performer Mel McGuire returns to sing the National Anthem with Cabaret flair. Please bring chairs, and additional parking is available in the Northeast Middle School parking lot.
