It’s great that the 4th of July is on a Saturday this year. We can all stay up late celebrating with friends and watching fireworks. Last year, we spent the day in the historic small town of Scottsville, VA. We watched the home town parade and waved as my daughter and her grandfather rode a very special tandem bike down Main Street.
July 4th is the celebration of that day in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress. The declaration recounted the grievances of the 13 colonies against the British crown and declared the colonies to be free and independent states. The Declaration of Independence, which can be viewed at the National Archives, laid down the foundation for the U.S. Constitution. Look at all the events I found celebrating the 4th of July.
