Declaration: The Story of America's Independence

In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, the Hershey History Center will host acclaimed historian and author Robert P. Watson, PhD on Monday, May 11, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for an engaging discussion of his latest book, Declaration: The Story of America’s Independence.

Watson’s Declaration uncovers the lesser-known stories, surprising twists, and forgotten voices behind the creation of the United States’ most iconic document.

​Attendees will gain insight into the complex and often misunderstood origins of the Declaration, including the missteps of the British Crown, shifting colonial sentiments, and the contributions of enlightened thinkers who helped spark a revolutionary moment in history.

Books will be available for purchase, and the author will offer autograph opportunities following the presentation.
