With Kasey Sease, Museum Curator

The Declaration of Independence is a pivotal American document, not just for 18th-century revolutionaries, but for people throughout U.S. history. Explore how individuals in Washington, D.C. used the Declaration and its ideas after independence was won. From the capital city’s planners to Union soldiers who defended Washington amid civil war, many evoked the Declaration to support their causes and shape a capital city. Spotlighting museum artifacts from the Albert H. Small Washingtoniana Collection, we will trace D.C.’s early history through 1876, the nation’s first centennial celebration.
