America 250th Reading of The Declaration of Independence
2026-07-08 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Nevada Veterans Memorial Plaza, 300 Howard Dr, Sparks, NV, 89434, United States
Battle Born Patriots in conjunction with the Nevada Veterans Memorial Plaza (300 Howard Dr, Sparks, NV) will conduct the Nevada reading of the Deceleration of Independence held simultaneously with its reading in all of America on July 8th at 3PM.
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence inside the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia. Four days later, on July 8, 1776, after the Declaration was printed and distributed, the citizens of Philadelphia were summoned to the State House Yard by the bells of the city. Then, Colonel John Nixon publicly read the Declaration of Independence.
The premise of ‘Sharing the Spirit of America’ is simple; it is the simultaneous reading of the Declaration of Independence across the country, where Americas are reading the document ‘together’ at the ‘same’ time. Just as the Declaration of Independence was read to the people for the first time on July 8, 1776, now, 250-years later, Americans in all 50 States, 5 Territories, DC, and US Minor Outlying Islands will read the Declaration of Independence ‘together’.
To commemorate this event the Battle Born Patriots Chapter of the Sons of The American Revolution have partnered with the Nevada Veterans Memorial Plaza and America250 Nevada. Nevada’s participation in this national event begins with a flyover by the U.S. Air Force then a reading of the Declaration of Independence that starts promptly at 3:00 p.m. The reading will be presented by members of the Battle Born Patriots Chapter of the Sons of The American Revolution.

Reading of the Declaration of Independence and Liberty Bell Ringing
2026-07-04 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Nevada State Museum, 600 N Carson St, Carson City, NV, 89701, United States
The general public, all BBP members, and BBP Color Guard are encouraged to attend.
In 1950 the U.S. Department of the Treasury commissioned Liberty Bell replicas as promotional tools for a Savings Bond drive and 57 Bells were produced. They were provided to each state, some of the territories, France and Japan. Nevada’s Bell is housed at the State Museum in Carson City and each 4th of July the Battle Born Chapter of the SAR reads the Deceleration of Independence and rings the bell 13 times. Once for each of the colonies that fought for freedom from Britain.
After the ringing for the colonies the public is encouraged to ring it. Many ringing it for one of their colonial patriots, for family military members, or for past family members who were especially patriotic.
See this Liberty Bell Replica site for locations and more history.

Declaration of Independence 250th Anniversary
2026-07-02 | NV
Please remember that on 2 Jul 1776 the Declaration of Independence was approved in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
On July 2, South Carolina reversed its position and voted for independence. In the Pennsylvania delegation, Dickinson and Robert Morris abstained, allowing the delegation to vote three-to-two in favor of independence. The tie in the Delaware delegation was broken by the timely arrival of Caesar Rodney, who voted for independence. The New York delegation abstained once again since they were still not authorized to vote for independence, although they were allowed to do so a week later by the New York Provincial Congress. The resolution of independence was adopted with twelve affirmative votes and one abstention, and the colonies formally severed political ties with Great Britain.[67] John Adams wrote to his wife on the following day and predicted that July 2 would become a great American holiday. He thought that the vote for independence would be commemorated; he did not foresee that Americans would instead celebrate Independence Day on the date when the announcement of that act was finalized.
