Declaration of Independence copy displayed in Pagoda
Students, professional community members and campus guests had the opportunity to view a historic copy of the Declaration of Independence on October 1-2 while on loan from Friends of RE in the Pagoda. Printed in 1833 by Peter Force from William J. Stone’s 1823 copperplate engraving – commissioned by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams to preserve the original document – this rare artifact offered the school community an opportunity for an insightful look at American history as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding. Many RE classes stopped by to reflect on the principles of freedom and citizenship that marked the founding of the United States.
