Join us for the Rye Fourth of July Celebration Saturday 7/4 on the village green.

Join the Rye Historical Society and Doug Carey from Leaders of Tomorrow at the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence on the Village Green. Enjoy historical reenactments, historic speeches and readings, patriotic songs and more as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary! This year, we will also be celebrating Rye’s historic trees as well as the 250 Acorns to Oaks initiative led by the Rye Sustainability Foundation. Admission is free, more details coming soon.

Join Rye Historical Society for a Story Hour on July 14th at 10am. Through engaging storytelling and exploration of the historic house, participants will be introduced to the people, places, and events that shaped the City of Rye and early America. This Story Hour is appropriate for ages 5 and older (parents/guardians must accompany their child). Admission is free, donations are appreciated.

Join us on July 15th at 6pm for our next Square House Book Club moderated by local resident and author Lee Sanford. This month's meeting will be in-person; the book selection is It Girl by New York Times best-selling author Allison Pataki. This fascinating historical fiction novel is based on the life of Evelyn Nesbit, America's first "It Girl", a model and actress who became a self-made celebrity in early 20th century New York City. To facilitate a lively and engaging discussion, questions can be submitted prior to the meeting and Pataki will be pre-recording answers to select questions for our attendees. Wine and cheese will be served, doors open at 5:30pm.

This program is free, registration is required. Register here.
