Do you know your Declaration of Independence? Come explore the founding document of the United States of America in this semiquincentennial year of 2026. Site interpreter Stephen Whalen, Ph.D., will examine the historical context of the times at Mount Independence State Historic Site. What were the origins and purpose of the Declaration? Why is its structure significant? How has the Declaration maintained its legacy through two and one half centuries?
