New Hampshire and American Independence

Nowadays, few people know about Paul Revere’s first ride, which was to Portsmouth in December 1774, or that New Hampshire’s Provincial Congress adopted the first state constitution on January 5, 1776, essentially declaring independence six months before anyone else. In this illustrated program, NH Historical Society’s Mary Adams will explore this fascinating history.

This program is free and open to the public, and (hopefully) generously sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities.
