North Parish Meeting House – 190 Academy Road, North Andover

Experience the importance of The Andover Resolve, a pivotal piece of revolutionary history that occurred right here, in The Andovers.

On June 12, 1776, our town met to determine if  the Continental Congress should declare the Colonies Independent.  This illegal local vote, “The Andover Resolve” gave Adams, Hancock and the Massachusetts Delegation the courage and authority to sign the Declaration of Independence. Live this local history with a panel discussion led by North Andover Town Moderator Mark DiSalvo and audience participation in a town meeting setting as if it were 1776.

Sponsored by the North Andover Historical Society and hosted by Town Moderator Mark DiSalvo and the North Parish in the Historic 1836 Meeting House on Academy Road. Doors open at 6 pm; program at 6:30. FREE and open to all ages.
