Freedom Plane Stops in L.A. April 17th - May 3rd

A National Archives traveling exhibition bringing seven original Founding-era documents to eight U.S. cities in commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.

Inspired by the Bicentennial Freedom Train, the Freedom Plane National Tour will make documents fundamental to America’s founding accessible to Americans across the country.

The seven original, historic documents from the holdings of the National Archives—traveling together for the first time in history—include:

1. William Stone Engraving of the Declaration of Independence, 1823
2. Articles of Association, 1774
3. George Washington's, Alexander Hamilton's, and Aaron Burr's Oaths of Allegiance, 1778
4. Treaty of Paris, 1783
5. David Brearley's Secret Printing of the Constitution, 1787
