A Busy July for the Lisbon Historical Society!

We have several exciting events and projects taking place. We hope you’ll join us!

July 1 – Lisbon History Exhibition Opens
Visit the Active Aging Center to see a special exhibition featuring historic photographs and artifacts from the Lisbon Historical Society’s collection. The exhibit will be on display through August 31 during the Center’s regular hours.

July 1 – New Oral History Project Launches
Be sure to visit our website on July 1 to explore a new Oral History page featuring interviews conducted by Lisbon Central School 8th-grade students. These conversations preserve the memories of longtime Lisbon residents and will become a lasting part of our community’s history.

July 4 – Ring the Bell for America!
At 2:50 p.m., we’ll ring the Newent Meeting House bell 13 times in honor of the original thirteen colonies as part of a nationwide America 250 celebration. We’ll gather at the Meeting House around 2:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

July 8 – Public Reading of the Declaration of Independence
Join us at 6:00 p.m. at the Newent Meeting House for a special community reading of the Declaration of Independence, sponsored by the Sons of the American Revolution. They have generously presented the Town of Lisbon with a beautiful canvas reproduction of the Declaration, which will be featured during the event.
