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.

DC National Guard extension keeps troops in the capital through 2026

National Guard members in Washington, DC will remain on duty through December 31, 2026, extending a security and public-service mission that had been set to end earlier. About 2,429 troops are deployed—roughly 700 from DC and 1,700 from other states across 11 states—with officials saying the longer extension provides stability for troops and families while planners consider a longer-term DC presence tied to the America 250th anniversary. The move follows recent incidents involving Guardsmen and comes amid discussions about a more permanent DC presence, alongside ongoing personal sacrifices and some troops opting to leave the mission for civilian life.
