Calligraphy and the Declaration of Independence - Thursday, July 9 at 6:30pm. Top and bottom borders have a blue stripe with white stars and two red stripes. America 250 logo, Old Lyme Historical Society Logo and the Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library logo.  Sample of calligraphy writing.

Who was the calligrapher that wrote the Declaration of Independence? How did they write during the American Revolution? What tools did they use? What lettering style?  Can I write like they did? We will explore these questions and more in this hands-on 90-minute program with calligrapher, Debby Reelitz. Participants will get the opportunity to write in script, use a dip nib and ink and scribe a line from the Declaration of Independence.

Registration required for America 250: Calligraphy and the Declaration of Independence.
