• Product Description

• Made from sustainable mango wood, the artwork on this serving tray is an image of a reimagined scene of the framers of the Constitution. Featuring our new interpretation of the Barry Faulkner mural of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 displayed in the National Archives Rotunda, it includes the very important additions of the images of Abigail Adams, Dolley Madison, Martha Washington, and Eliza Hamilton.

  Variations in the wood grain and finish mean each tray is unique and make wonderful gifts.

The term "Founding Mothers" refers to women who played significant roles during the American Revolution and in the early development of the United States. This includes wives of the Founders, First Ladies, writers, poets, and war heroes. These women passionately supported the cause of independence and contributed greatly to the nation's social and political landscape. Although they were not as publicly visible as their male counterparts, their influence was instrumental in shaping the United States as we know it today.

The National Archives keeps many letters, works, and correspondence written by these women to other Founders, offering valuable insights into their private lives and the events of the Revolution. Many of these transcriptions can be found online at the National Archives’ Founders Online website, including Abigail Adams’s famous “Remember the Ladies” letter sent to her husband.
