National Archives

Next stop was the National Archives, no pictures were allowed, but it is here that the original versions of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights are on display. More importantly though it was here that Gates stole the Declaration of Independence in Disney’s 2004 film National Treasure.

The Archives also had a 1297 version of the Magna Carta, I found this more fascinating that the other documents, many couldn’t believe it was actually from 1297 😂.

I also visited the Archives info centre that showed how they secure and keep the constitution in good condition, this was also in Disney’s 2004 film National Treasure when Gates steals the Dec of Independence.Les mer
