The Lovettsville Historical Society continues our tradition of a public reading of the Declaration so all can hear it and ponder its message, its pledge, its inspiration, and how far we yet need to reach out to meet its ideals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our founding document will be read with seven local readers placed around the historic St. James Church and balcony\u2014one reader, of course, reading in German because we’re the “German Settlement”!  The 1901 church’s special acoustics make for a wonderful antiphonal reading that will give you a memorable experience.  There will be an opportunity for audience participation as well. Those attending will then have a chance to sign a large copy of the Declaration with the original signers, reasserting our hopes and beliefs, whatever our current shortfalls may be.  Then we will ring the church bell in celebration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us where the Lovettsville Historical Society presents its monthlySecond Sunday Lecture Series at St. James United Church of Christ, 10 E. Broadway in Lovettsville at 10:00 a.m.  Then you can adjourn around the corner for coffee or lunch!<\/p>\n\n\n
