    How We Know What We Know About July 8, 1776 in Easton, PA

    The archives kept everything but the name. A family scrapbook kept the name: Robert Levers. On this Heritage Day, Easton’s founding story is a lesson in how history actually gets made.

    By Laini AbrahamJuly 11, 2026
    Three black-and-white photographs from a family archive spread out on a couch: a close-up of a man reading from a bound volume of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, a boy in a tricorn hat holding a flag and wearing a name tag reading "Levers Family," and a man in colonial dress reading from a small book at an outdoor microphone.
    From the Levers family archive: John Levers, a descendant of Robert Levers, reads the Declaration of Independence at Easton’s fifth Heritage Day, July 8, 1981 — 205 years to the day after the first reading. His son Billy holds the flag. (Photograph by Bill Levers; original prints from the Levers family collection, reading close-up by Don Uhrich for The Morning Call)
