The records document Rye’s residential history and offer a rich perspective on the area’s architectural and community development, the historical society said.
The Rye Historical Society sponsored the event, which featured reenactments, live music, historic costumes, Square House tours, and activities for all ages.
The event was designed to highlight not only the nation’s declaring independence from Great Britain, but the role Rye residents played in the nation’s fight for that independence.
