Dear Members and Friends of the Lancaster Historical Society,

The Declaration of Independence was most likely read to the inhabitants of Lancaster by the Reverend Timothy Harrington at the Fourth Meeting House on Sunday, October 6, 1776 in the afternoon after other Sunday services.  Per specific instructions, it was recorded in town records by the Town Clerk on October 7, 1776 as a memorial.

It was good to see so many of you turn out for “I Now Pronounce You Lucy Stone” earlier in the year in April. The performance was TRULY  OUTSTANDING!

If you missed the performance by History at Play it can be viewed, for a fee to them, at this LINK.

Also, if you wish to read the History at Play’s newsletter or check out their future productions, click HERE.

As always, stay tuned for upcoming events later in the year offered by the Lancaster Historical Society.

Best regards,

Heather L. Lennon, LHS President
