From Colonies to Independence

Join us on the patio for a musical celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Enjoy music and history about life in the 13 colonies, events that led up to the War for Independence, the War itself, and our early years as a Republic. Songs performed by Rick Spencer and Dawn Indermuehle include rousing songs about following the noble cause of independence, soldier life during the War, famous battles on land and sea, and life during the uneasy years after the conflict.
Note: if the weather is too hot or rainy, the event will be held indoors at the library.
