After its postponement due to inclement weather in December, Halifax will launch and promote its participation in the History Worth Repeating program next week.

The event will be held March 1 at 10:30 a.m. at The Hen and the Hog at 16 South King Street.

The launch will include a brief overview presentation of the program.  

The program represents the joining of three historic towns — Edenton, Halifax and Warrenton — to market and promote themselves as connected tourist destinations under the Discover History Worth Repeating program.

It includes a passport tour which leads visitors through the participating towns.  

Passports are stamped at each historic, merchant, or artisan location.  

Hands-on activities in each town are tailored for children and adults: Resigning the resolves in Halifax, building architectural elements in Warrenton and cruising the bay where the Tea Party occurred in Edenton.
