Freedom Plane Tour Brings Founding-Era Documents to Eight Cities for America’s 250th

The National Archives, with the National Archives Foundation and partners including Boeing, will launch the Freedom Plane National Tour in 2026, transporting eight original founding-era documents by a Boeing 737 to major museums in Kansas City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston, Denver, Miami, Dearborn, and Seattle from March to August. The display features items such as the 1823 engraving of the Declaration of Independence, the 1774 Articles of Association, oaths of allegiance from 1778, the 1783 Treaty of Paris, a draft Constitution, and the 1787 tally of votes, with free admission and tickets via each museum.
