The Declaration 1776 Traveling Exhibition will be at the Mitchell County Historical Society Museum November 14 through December 31, 2026. 

About the Exhibition:
When the Declaration of Independence was issued, the idea that “all men are created equal” was revolutionary. With this seminal document, the Founding Fathers unleashed an open-ended driving force that would shape modern history. Around the world, other countries have declared independence taking the US Declaration of 1776 as a model. This exhibition uses primary sources to illustrate how Americans and people across the world have been inspired by the Declaration in their pursuit of equality and self-determination. A special exhibit panel on “Kansas” in 1776 is also included.
