Happy 4th of July to everyone!
On this day 248 years ago, the handwritten and signed copy of the Declaration of Independence was set into print, 200 copies had been created and were sent out on horseback to all the new states up and down the coast. As the month went on, more newspapers and local/state governments would typeset and publish their own versions, allowing for all new citizens to learn of their independence!
You can find our reproductions of these various versions of the Declaration on our website amongst many other documents that were crucial in winning the fight for independence and securing the creation of our country. Order one for yourself or a loved one to commemorate this important holiday!
As always, be safe and have fun celebrating today!
