Our commemorative Declaration 250 crew socks honor America's 250th anniversary with a timeless design: the Old Guard Fife and Drums marching proudly before the National Archives Building—home of the Declaration of Independence. Inspired by the precision of Revolutionary-era musicians (who kept morale high during long marches), these light grey socks are crafted for comfort and patriotism. Made in the U.S.A.

Drafted by 33-year-old Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and announced that the 13 American colonies, then at war with Great Britain, regarded themselves as independent states and no longer a part of the British Empire.

In 2026, the United States will be celebrating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Visit the National Archives Foundation website for more information on the festivities and celebrations that are being planned for America’s 250th Anniversary.

The original Declaration of Independence is on permanent display in the Rotunda at the National Archives Museum.
