The Declaration of Independence Story You Haven’t Heard

The Declaration of Independence is one of the most historic documents in the history of the world, but most Americans don’t know the backstory of how it happened. Why were there three official printed versions? Why were there so many edits to Thomas Jefferson’s draft? Why did no one sign it until August?

Join Gettysburg resident Tom McMillan, author of The Year That Made America, on Saturday, June 20th at 10 a.m. for an intriguing look at the Declaration as the 250th anniversary approaches.

Registration is required. The cost to attend for Gettysburg History members is free and general admission is $10.
