This temporary exhibit explores the ideals at the heart of the Declaration of Independence through moments in our history that have defined their meaning.
On July 4, 2026, the nation will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Developed through a multi-state collaboration using material from an exhibition of the same name created by History Colorado, Moments that Made US looks at the legacy of our founding document through five main themes: "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness", "Consent of the Governed", "Created Equal", "Free and Independent States", and "We Mutually Pledge to Each Other our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor".
