The Henry Ford will be live from Greenfield Village as we partake in a nationwide commemoration of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. July 8 will mark the 250th anniversary of this historic moment, and community gatherings across the country will simultaneously re-create the occasion with synchronized public readings at exactly 6 p.m.
As our community gathers at The Henry Ford and joins voices across the nation, this event serves as a reminder of the power found in coming together to recognize the moments that continue to shape America's collective story.
