Seeing a Dunlap Broadside

The State Capitol building hosted a viewing of the Declaration for two days

(actually a copy called a Dunlap Broadside.)

How amazing the building looks, we would know.

We stood in line for about 3 hours.

Well worth seeing. Even the kids didn't mind the wait!

Utah state Capitol officials estimate that nearly 8,000 people

journeyed to the newly restored building Friday to get

a peek at a rare copy of the Declaration of Independence,

currently on a national tour promoting voter registration.

Yes, we were there!

It was so amazing to see this document;

known as a Dunlap Broadside.

It is a printed version of the original handwritten statement.

The renovation of the building was spectacular.
Beautiful to see. If you get a chance, take a day, have a picnic.
Go see this part of our history. Take a tour. See the beautiful Senate,
House of Representatives, Supreme Court rooms, see the artwork!
So much to learn. I love the edison lights. Go and find out why!!!
(Hopefully I will post pictures from today when I get them downloaded!)
