Keep your eyes open downtown for the 27 Grievances from the Declaration of Independence.
The Grievances Walking Tour is a history-in-the-streets installation coordinated by the Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library featuring each of the 27 grievances listed in the Declaration, displayed in the windows and lawns of participating businesses and organizations throughout the community.
The walking tour celebrates the upcoming visit of the Maine Historical Society's Dunlap broadside of the Declaration of Independence, which will be on public display at Bigelow Laboratory on July 24–25, 2026. Reserve your free timed entry to view this extraordinary document.
Stroll downtown, visit our partner businesses, and learn the reasons that inspired the American Revolution.
