Declarations of Independence Opening
Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg
June 13
When the Declaration of Independence was drafted 250 years ago, it was to some a radical, necessary step toward independence; to others, it was an act of treason. But once adopted on July 4, 1776, how were the colonies and the world to know about it?
This new exhibition, opening June 13, will feature one of the original 50th anniversary William Stone parchment printings of the Declaration of Independence, one of only about 50 in existence. Also on view will be the original July 20, 1776 issue of the Virginia Gazette printed in Williamsburg as well as the 19th-century printings by Tyler, Binns, and Huntington. More Info
