I drove to New Bern, NC to celebrate the Fourth of
July. They had a drum and fife corps
along with the reading of the Declaration of Independence on the steps of Tryon
Palace.
The man reading is portraying John Penn. He was a
signer of the Declaration. The woman is
his wife. And the gentleman standing
nearby is supposed to be the last loyalist governor of North Carolina: Josiah Martin.
I seriously doubt Governor Martin would have been
present for the reading. If anything, he
would’ve had John Penn arrested.
They even had period music.
If you're a history buff, you'll enjoy New Bern.
