SUMMARY:Portsmouth Peace Treaty Bell Ringing
DESCRIPTION:Join us below the cherry tree at the John Paul Jones House to celebrate the Portsmouth Peace Treaty!\nThis year is the 120th Anniversary of the signing of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty on September 5\, 1905. The spirit of the Treaty\, the statesmanship of the diplomats and President Roosevelt\, and the citizen diplomacy of local people is a legacy that is perhaps more important than ever in these turbulent global times — and is echoed in the themes of the “Diplomats in Portsmouth” exhibit displayed at the John Paul Jones House. \nBy re-enacting the bellringing that occurred when the Treaty was signed on September 5\, 1905\, we echo the celebration all around the Seacoast that welcomed the news that the Russo-Japanese War was over and we commemorate the active role local citizens played in helping to achieve that peace. So the sounding of bells around the state at 3:47 pm on September 5th is the historical\, and in many ways most meaningful celebration of Portsmouth Peace Treaty Day\, an official statewide observance since unanimous legislation was passed in 2010.
