Last day to visit Words That Built a Nation display
You can hold a piece of American history in your hands, but not for much longer! Today is the final day to see "Words That Built a Nation", a free public exhibit from the The Action Institute and GR A250 at DeVos Place. On display are original, founding-era documents, including a first-edition U.S. Constitution from 1788. It is one of only five copies known to exist.
Also there is a first edition of the Federalist Papers and a rare dunlap edition of the Declaration of Independence printed on July 4, 1776. There are no glass cases or ropes; you can actually pick them up. There is no reservation needed.
The display will be available from 12 to 4 P.M. at DeVos Place.
