Halifax Resolves Days: Prelude to Revolution

On April 11th and 12th, celebrate the 249th anniversary of the Halifax Resolves, the first official action by an entire colony recommending independence from Great Britain. Enjoy living-history activities, historic weapons demonstrations, military drills, and interact with characters from Halifax's past. Friday begins with a traditional Native American ceremony at Magazine Spring, hosted by the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe. Other historical presentations will take place on Friday morning, followed by living-history and historic building tours that afternoon. On Saturday, the NC Society Sons of the American Revolution will host a wreath-laying ceremony at 10 a.m., and the Historical Halifax Restoration Association will host the annual Halifax Day Ceremony featuring a guest speaker at 2 p.m. Various other activities sponsored by community groups will take place throughout the multi-day event including a Saturday night concert and laser light show sponsored by the Town of Halifax and a grant from A250NC.
