Experience history come alive and gain fresh perspectives on what makes us and our nation uniquely American.

The Road To The Declaration reflects on the early years of Franklin’s life and his vast accomplishments through that historic day in 1776 when he and other Continental Congressional delegates declared these “truths to be self-evident.” and began the independent American journey for “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
