The Secret Trip of the Declaration of Independence: 15 Minute History at the Museum

June 22 @ 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Did you know that the Declaration of Independence was once hidden in Arlington? Join us for a 15-minute history talk at the Arlington Historical Museum on Saturday, June 22 at 2PM to uncover the fascinating story of how the nation’s founding document found safety during the War of 1812 here in what became Arlington County.

Our county is loaded with history! Come and rediscover it where it happened. Our newly redone museum has so much history, we’re starting a series of brief talks at the Arlington Historical Museum on select Sundays each month. They’re free and fun and you’ll learn some fascinating tidbits to WOW your friends and family! Then continue touring the museum (on both floors!) on your self-guided tour of the rest of Arlington’s history. History is for everyone!
