The Senate House’s annual Let Freedom Ring! Independence Day celebration was held in Kingston on Saturday, July 2.  There were readings of patriotic speeches and patriotic songs performed by the Ancient Order of Hibernians Pipe Band. Also, attendees viewed colonial medicine demonstrations, hearthside cooking, games and crafts for children.  The 3rd Ulster Militia unit was on site demonstrating 18th century camp life and a flag retiring ceremony was conducted.

The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln was read by Emma Cariello.
Patriotic songs were played by the Ancient Order of Hibernians Pipe Band.
