About

On 4th July 2026, America will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This milestone is an opportunity to explore Larne's links to America with the development of an online interactive StoryMap which will mark some of the sites and people associated with our area and the United States.

Join us for a guided walk of some of these sites with local guide Robert Stewart. This will be followed by light refreshments at Larne Museum and an introduction to a new online interactive StoryMap exploring the links between Larne and America.

This event is part of Larne's America 250 Programme.

This is a free event, however places are limited and should be booked in advance by contacting Larne Museum & Arts Centre on 028 28 262443 or e-mail marian.kelso@midandeastantrim.gov.uk. Light refreshments provided.
