Hunterdon County's many historical and
cultural organizations have just kicked off a
16-month celebration of American Independence
and the American Revolution in Hunterdon County. Did

music, movies, and fun! Events include (but not limited to) • A
celebration parade in Flemington Borough for Flag Day, June 14 •
A re-enactment of the reading of the Declaration of Independence,
which was first read aloud (outside of Philadelphia) in Hunterdon
County on July 8, 1776! • A lecture to celebrate Black History Month
on a free black man who served in the Hunterdon Militia, crossed
the Delaware River with George Washington, and is buried in
Flemington! • A final talk at the end of 2026 on the Ten Crucial
Days of the Revolution! For more information, to receive
