Event Details

Please join us for this celebration of the Halifax Resolves, the first official Declaration of Independence from England by any colony. The historic document Halifax Resolves was signed here on April 12, 1776, predating the Declaration of Independence by almost three months. There is an annual Halifax Day Celebration, sponsored thru the Halifax Historic, coinciding with this date each year. There will be tours of historic homes, colonial craft demonstrations and revolutionary reenactors. This event is sponsored by the Historical Halifax Restoration Assn.

There is also a production of "First for Freedom" put on each year by Eastern Stage Productions. This outdoor drama depicts the events surrounding signing of the Halifax Resolves, based on a novel of the same name by local author, Max Williams.
