• Two-time Newbery Honor author Alice Dalgliesh makes history come alive in this accessible story of America's birthday.

  The home of the original Declaration of Independence, the National Archives celebrates Independence Day every year with a fun public reading of the Declaration, at which you can boo the list of grievances against King George III and cheer "Huzzah!" as we declare our independence!

The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are the founding documents of the United States and have instilled in the American people a strong sense of patriotism. These documents establish the foundation of our government, creating a system of laws and principles that all American citizens can take pride in.

The National Archives Store offers a wide selection of patriotic reproductions, gifts, accessories, collectibles, and apparel, all inspired by the extensive collections of records that are preserved and protected by the National Archives.
