SUMMARY:Lecture – “National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America”
DESCRIPTION:Washington Crossing Historic Park is pleased to partner with the American Philosophical Society and its David Center for the American Revolution to host a lecture by historian Michael Auslin on his new book\, National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America. \nIn this engaging talk\, Auslin explores the remarkable history of the Declaration of Independence—from its drafting by Thomas Jefferson to its enduring role as a symbol of American ideals. More than a static artifact\, the Declaration has lived many lives: carried through war\, hidden for safekeeping\, reproduced and reinterpreted across generations\, and invoked by figures ranging from Abraham Lincoln to Franklin D. Roosevelt. \nDrawing on vivid storytelling and historical insight\, National Treasure traces how this singular document has inspired movements for freedom and equality while also raising enduring questions about unity\, identity\, and democracy. As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding\, this lecture offers a timely reflection on the principles that continue to shape the United States. \nThis lecture will be offered in a hybrid format\, with both in-person and virtual attendance options available. Washington Crossing Historic Park’s free lecture series is made possible by our General Level Supporter\, America250PA\, through the Lecture250 Grant Program. \n \nAbout the Speaker\nMichael Auslin is the Payson J. Treat Distinguished Research Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. He previously served as an associate professor of history at Yale University and has held fellowships at institutions including the Library of Congress and the Society of the Cincinnati’s American Revolution Institute. He is also the author of the Substack The Patowmack Packet and lives in Virginia.
