The United States is commemorating its 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The yearlong celebration will include dozens of events throughout the country, including the Freedom Plane.
The Freedom Plane is a National Archives traveling exhibition bringing nine original Founding-era documents to eight U.S. cities in commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
