ONLINE: Carrying (& Caring for) the Declaration of Independence

Just how important was the Declaration of Independence?

How important has it become?

Join us ONLINE as author Karen A. Chase gives an overview of the Declaration’s wording, examines the original parchment and various copies, and outlines how we’ve stored, cared for, and even neglected the document for 245 years.

Moreover, we’ll discuss why this document remains meaningful for us in modern times.
