ABINGTON RECEIVES THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

The Abington Select Board will receive on July 1, 2026, at 9:15AM in the Select Board Chamber/Cotter Hearing Room an authentic replica of the Declaration of Independence as part of the 250 Anniversary Celebration referred to as Declaration Delivery Day from our State Representative Alyson Sullivan Almeida.

This event is spearheaded by Revolution 250 to recreate the historic distribution of 1776. Citizens of Abington are invited to see the document on July 1, 2026, from 9:15AM till 4:30PM.

“Passing off our final copies of the Declaration at the State House was one of Revolution 250’s proudest moments,” said Executive Director Jonathan Lane. “Declaration Delivery Day is one of Revolution 250’s final and most impactful commemorative events for the nation’s semiquincentennial anniversary, and it has been an honor to pay homage to American history in this way. This project has been a massive undertaking and collaborative effort between multiple groups, and we are extremely grateful to all who have assisted us, including Secretary William Galvin. We wish to thank everyone who has supported Declaration Delivery Day and helped bring history to every community in Massachusetts.”
