A free program Monday

Inside Signers' Hall
"Live From the Museum: Introducing the Six Signers" runs 11 a.m. to noon Central. An educator walks viewers through the Philadelphia museum's Signers' Hall.
Six men signed both
Six delegates signed the Declaration in 1776, then came back 11 years later to sign the Constitution. The tour introduces all of them.
What September 17 marks
On that date in 1787, delegates to the Constitutional Convention met one final time to sign the document they had written.
“delegates to the Constitutional Convention met one last time to sign the document they had created”
Two anniversaries at once
The 239th signing anniversary lands during the 250th of the Declaration. The Constitution hits 250 in 2037, the Bill of Rights in 2041.
Thursday, from anywhere
A naturalization ceremony at 8:30 a.m. Central swears in 50 new citizens. At 10:30 a.m., actors playing Jefferson and Madison take student questions.
Take it to the classroom
The National Archives offers primary documents, teaching activities, a Constitution workshop online or on paper, and images of all four original pages.
