WASHINGTON, Ark. In honor of Independence Day weekend, Historic Washington State Park will host a reading, signing and celebration of The Declaration of Independence this Saturday through Monday.
Park visitors can hear the Declaration of Independence read at three different times during these days: 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the 1874 Courthouse.
This was a common practice during the 19th century, according to park officials. After the reading, visitors can sign a copy of the Declaration to take home for themselves.
