Ringing of the Bells
in commemoration of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty

​On September 5, 1905, the signing of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty brought an end to the Russo-Japanese War
​(“World War Zero”). By re-enacting the bell ringing that occurred when the Treaty was signed, we echo the celebration all around the Seacoast that welcomed the news that the war was over and we commemorate the active role local citizens played in helping to achieve that peace. During the negotiations, members of the Japanese delegation attended worship here at Second Christian Church, 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 (NH) observance since unanimous legislation was passed in 2010
