THANK YOU to everyone who attended the Town of #Kittery Independence Day Celebration on Saturday. It was an awesome way to come together as a community and celebrate the spirit of independence. 🗽 This year we were honored to include a reading of the historic Petition of Freedom submitted to the NH Legislature in 1779 by Whipple’s own enslaved person, Prince Whipple, and others seeking to obtain their individual liberty. 📜 ✨Having "General Whipple" and "Prince Whipple" with us, along with the Piscataqua Rangers Jr. Fife & Drum Corps, Capt. Henry Dearborn's Company of Revolution-era reenactors, the PNS Color Guard and our community members, made the event truly special. ✨ Click the link below to hear more about the event and we hope to see you next year! https://lnkd.in/eXXAAcdt Black Heritage Trail of NH | Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
