Jane Murphy<\/span> This is your guide to the Seacoast New Hampshire and southern Maine celebrations of America’s 250th birthday, including fireworks, festivals, concerts and many more events.<\/p>\n It’s also a good time to remember what a vital role the Seacoast played in the nation’s beginnings.<\/p>\n On the night of July 4, 1776, Philadelphia printer John Dunlap printed approximately 200 copies of the\u00a0newly signed\u00a0Declaration of Independence<\/a> to be distributed throughout the 13 colonies, delivered by horseback. One of those copies arrived in Exeter, New Hampshire, on July 16.<\/p>\n John Taylor Gilman, state treasurer Nicholas Gilman\u2019s son, read the declaration to townspeople, and it was printed in the newspaper.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fast-forward to 1985, when electrician Dick Brewster and assistant Rod Compagna were installing a security system in the Ladd-Gilman House in Exeter, which served as the state treasury during the American Revolution, and found a lot of papers and textiles used as insulation in the attic. One of those papers was\u00a0the Dunlap\u00a0Broadside. This find inspired the founding of the American Independence Museum in the house in 1991. Ever since, the museum has displayed a reproduction of the rare document, of which about 30 are known to remain today, only bringing the original out for the museum\u2019s annual American Independence Festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n The museum\u2019s mission was to tell the story of the American Revolution, but in honor of the nation\u2019s 250th birthday, the museum has rebranded, changing its name<\/a> to the American Independence Center<\/a> and expanding its mission to telling the story of the United States\u00a0in the decades and centuries following the Revolution up until today.\u00a0<\/p>\n More: <\/strong>American Independence Center launches new era in Exeter, going beyond the Revolution<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n To mark the\u00a0occasion\u00a0the museum has opened two new exhibits.\u00a0The Republic Room picks up after the signing of the Constitution in 1787 with exhibits on abolition, suffrage, Indian removal, civil\u00a0right\u00a0and conflicts from the world wars to Iraq and Afghanistan. The \u201cAmending America\u201d exhibit looks at the Bill of Rights, explaining how it lays out individual and states\u2019\u00a0right, and will focus on one right each year, beginning with the First Amendment this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n You\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0take a step anywhere on the Seacoast without treading on historic ground rooted in the American Revolution. For 250 years, this area has taken pride in and preserved its connections to the revolutionary fight and the founding of the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n From Exeter, which served as the state\u2019s capital during the Revolutionary era, to New Castle where a fort, perched at the mouth of Portsmouth Harbor,\u00a0named after the British monarchs William and Mary, was the site of the first rebel act<\/a> of the Revolutionary War, you can trace the steps of Revolutionary heroes, sung and unsung. On Dec. 14 and 15, 1774, after being warned by Paul Revere himself that the British were coming to take the powder from the fort, hundreds of local patriots attacked the fort, took the powder from the British and hid it in towns across the greater Seacoast including Durham, Exeter, Kingston, Fremont, Brentwood and Epping among others. This took place more than four months before \u201cthe shot heard \u2018round the world\u201d that sparked the Battle of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The New Hampshire Fifth Provincial Congress, meeting in Exeter on Jan. 5, 1776, adopted the New Hampshire Constitution of 1776, the first written constitution adopted by any of the 13 colonies, according to the NH Sons of the American Revolution. Months before July 4th, it marked the beginning of self-rule and\u00a0established\u00a0the state\u2019s own government. It was America\u2019s first declaration of independence.\u00a0<\/p>\n Across the Piscataqua River in Kittery, Maine, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard was\u00a0established\u00a0by the still-new federal government on June 12,\u00a01800\u00a0and launched its first ship, the USS Washington, a 74-gun warship, in 1814. It built the first submarine built at a U.S. Navy shipyard during World War I, according to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Historical Foundation, and during World War II, it built\u00a078, and\u00a0employed approximately 23,000. Today,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0the U.S. Navy\u2019s oldest continuously working shipyard.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pease Air Force Base formally opened on June 30, 1956, but\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0officially named to honor World War II B-17 bomber pilot Capt. Harl Pease until 1957. It was a Strategic Air Command base during the Cold War, home to two nuclear bomber\u00a0wings,\u00a0 and\u00a0closed in 1991. Part of the base became the Pease Air National Guard Base, which is now the home of the 157th Air Refueling Wing and KC-46A Pegasus. It is the first to fly the nation\u2019s new aerial refueler and has its full contingent of 12 KC-46A Pegasus jets. The wing employs more than 1,300 Guardsmen, full-time military\u00a0members\u00a0and civilian employees.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The Seacoast\u2019s pride in its role in Revolutionary War history and its long heritage of military service preserving the freedom those patriots won makes this Fourth of July hit a little differently here, inspiring a summer full of celebrations of the United States\u2019 250th birthday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The horse chestnut tree at the Moffatt-Ladd House in Portsmouth was planted by Declaration of Independence signer William Whipple and his enslaved servant, Prince. The tree is turning 250 years old and on Saturday, June 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the museum will host a free Tree of Independence Festival<\/a> for the public to celebrate its birthday, learn about its history, shop commemorative items, and enjoy refreshments. The gardens and festival are free; house tours\u00a0purchased\u00a0separately.<\/p>\n Portsmouth\u2019s Liberty Pole on Marcy Street at the edge of Prescott Park is the oldest in the nation. The Sons of Liberty raised the first No Stamp Flag in the American Colonies here. On Sunday, June 14, from noon to 2:30 p.m., Strawberry Banke, the Portsmouth Historical Society and the Association of Historical Society of NH will present a Flag Day ceremony<\/a> at the pole. After the ceremony,\u00a0there\u2019ll\u00a0be children\u2019s craft activities and refreshments.\u00a0<\/p>\n The ceremony will be followed by a USA 250 Big Watch screening of selections from Ken Burns\u2019 \u201cAmerican Revolution\u201d documentary at the Visitors Center at\u00a0Strawbery\u00a0Banke.
