Declaration and Counter-Declaration in Lexington, 4 July

Lexington’s plans to observe Independence Day this weekend caught my eye because it includes an unusual opposition voice—and ice cream.

The Lexington Historical Society will host a public reading of the Declaration of Independence, followed by a reading of George III’s official response to it. This event will take place at the Lexington Depot starting at 7:00 P.M.

And did I mention ice cream? Folks from Rancatore’s will cross the street to sell scoops for $2.
