The National Archives



Being involved with Human Rights First means spending time focused on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It was really cool to see the original documents preserved. I love the movie National Treasure and always wanted to be able to see the Declaration up close. I was able to make out all of the signatures on each document. The lighting was really dim and we were not allowed to use the flash on our cameras in order to make sure the documents don't get damaged. The murals on the walls above the documents were also really nice to see. I always loved American History growing up so being able to visit all of these museums was a great way to spend my weekend!
