A look at Southborough’s Handwritten Declaration of Independence (Updated)
I’m correcting and updating on a recent post about the Town’s Declaration of Independence. I learned that at some point, the Town located the handwritten copy from 1776. The historic document is also part of the Town’s historical records that have been digitized and uploaded for the public to access.
I’m also sharing some more interesting history from the period that was captured in the records. Read the full article → from A look at Southborough’s Handwritten Declaration of Independence (Updated)

Check out discounts to museums and parks
The Library offers passes for discount/free admission to many indoor and outdoor venues. Most are open on the 4th. (But you may need to pick up a pass by tonight.)

Summer is an especially great time to take advantage of the options. And given the extreme heat forecast to continue through Saturday night, many of the indoor ones can be great options for 4th of July fun or celebrating the nation’s history.
