KITTERY, Maine
To kick off 4th of July festivities, the town of Kittery hosted an annual event this weekend to celebrate Independence Day. The event included a reading of the Declaration of Independence, performed by an actor playing the only Maine native to sign it.
General William Whipple was born and raised in Kittery in the 1700s. As an adult, Whipple was a member of the New Hampshire Delegation, was a brigadier general, and was one of the 56 people who signed the Declaration of Independence. Although he signed the Declaration of Independence as a representative of New Hampshire, Whipple was the only Maine native to sign the document.
