Join Us for an Interactive Session to Celebrate and Reflect.

This year, as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, we’ll take a look at what this document means in our daily lives. How we choose to honor and remember this living document helps shape whether, and
how, our history stays alive and relevant in our everyday lives.

In this session, we’ll look at the different ways Illinoisans have marked the milestones of our Nation’s founding over the past 250 years and what influenced those choices.

Then we’ll look to today: What artifacts, moments, and experiences would you curate to capture who we are and help future Americans understand this important anniversary?
