• Iconic, crisp, cool refreshment comes in the form of these elegantly packaged peppermint mints. The three collectible tins are adorned with the grandeur of the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. Each tin showcases the Temple of American History, draped in the iconic 4th of July flag banners—because nothing says "freedom" like a breath that’s bold, fresh, and ready for anything life throws at you.  

  Perfect for pockets, purses, or patriotic displays, these mints deliver a burst of invigorating peppermint, ideal for post-parade pep or a quick refresh before reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. 

In 1930, New York Architect John Russell Pope was selected to design the National Archives Building. Pope's neoclassical design included both practical and symbolic aspects of housing the nation's records. He proposed a monumental structure with highly decorative architectural features, giant Corinthian columns, 40-foot bronze doors, and inscriptions representing the building's historical importance.

Construction began in 1931 with a groundbreaking ceremony on Pennsylvania Avenue. On February 20, 1933, President Herbert Hoover laid the cornerstone of the building, dedicating it to the people of the United States.

In December 2023, the National Archives Building was designated as a National Historic Landmark.
