The Fairfield Foundation had a day of activities on Friday to commemorate the first known countywide celebration of Independence Day in Gloucester, held on July 6, 1858. That first celebration included a parade in which descendants of men who fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 marched from Hickory Fork to the Leavett residence on Carter’s Creek, where a banquet was held.
