The Declaration of Independence is one of the most historic documents in the history of the world, but most Americans don't know the backstory of how it happened. Why were there three official printed versions? Why were there so many edits to Thomas Jefferson's draft? Why did no one sign it until August? Join Gettysburg resident Tom McMillan, author of The Year That Made America, for an intriguing look at the Declaration as the 250th anniversary approaches.

Registration is required.  Gettysburg History Members are free and Non-Members are $10.  The program will be held at the Beyond the Battle Museum, 625 Biglerville Road, Gettysburg, PA.
