The Swansea Public Library and Martin House Farm proudly announce a 250th Presentation:Renowned historian Stephen Puleo discusses his book American Treasures which charts the little-known journeys of the documentary history of American democracy: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address. From the risky and audacious adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to our modern Fourth of July celebrations, American Treasures shows how the ideas captured in these documents underscore the nation's strengths and hopes, and embody its fundamental values of liberty and equality.All are invited for tours and an early open House of the Martin House Farm, from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM. Martin House is located at 22 Stoney Hill Road and Route 6.
