History will come alive on the Eastern Shore of Virginia this summer as organizers prepare to mark a significant moment in American heritage at one of the region’s most storied landmarks.
A commemoration honoring the reading of the Declaration of Independence is planned for the historic Eastville Courthouse Green in Northampton County, Virginia. The event is scheduled for August 15, 2026, and will run from 10:00 in the morning until 2:00 in the afternoon.
The Eastville Courthouse Green is one of the oldest continuously used courthouse sites in the United States, making it a fitting backdrop for a celebration of American independence and history.
