We visited Exeter, NH for the American Independence Festival. The Festival began at 10:15 with a parade led by George Washington.
The Declaration of Independence was read from the New Hampshire Capitol of Exeter on July 16, 1776. We were able to "see" George Washington and John Adams this morning address us from the stage outside of the museum.
