This Summer, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn will be hosting an exclusive exhibition that brings together some of America's most significant historical documents. As part of a nationwide tour celebrating the United States' 250th anniversary, "The Freedom Plane National Tour: Documents That Forged a Nation" will open its doors to the public from July 9-26.
The exhibit features some truly remarkable artifacts, including one of only 50 known engraved copies of the Declaration of Independence. Also on display is the Articles of Association, which called for a boycott of British goods during the American Revolution. Other notable items include signed Oaths of Allegiance by George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr, as well as the Treaty of Paris, which officially recognized the United States as an independent nation.
Additionally, visitors will be able to see a rare draft copy of the U.S. Constitution and a tally of votes approving its adoption. These documents provide a unique glimpse into the early history of America and serve as a poignant reminder of the country's founding ideals.
The exhibition is free and open to the public, but ticket reservations must be made in advance through The Henry Ford museum website. With this remarkable collection on display, Americans from across the nation will have the opportunity to witness firsthand the people and principles that shaped their country.
