As the nation prepares to celebrate the 248th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Town of Warwick is reminded of our rich history and involvement in the founding of our country. From countless members of our area serving in the Revolutionary War to Warwick’s own Henry Wisner attending and voting for independence in first Continental Congress, Warwick has played a pivotal role in our quest for independence. To that end, Warwick is beginning to prepare for our nation’s semiquincentennial (250-year anniversary). If you would like to participate in Warwick’s contribution to celebrating this amazing milestone, please feel free to reach out to Warwick’s deputy town historian, Sue Gardner at warwickhistory@gmail.com. On behalf of the Town of Warwick, I would like to wish everyone a safe, healthy and positively memorable Independence Day.
