Here is your chance to see one of the true icons of American history — a William J. Stone engraved copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed by the State Department in 1823. This extremely rare document is on view at the U.S. Capitol as part of its “Spirit of ’76 — Congress Celebrates the Nation” exhibit. If you see an image of the Declaration reproduced anywhere, it is likely a Stone copy and not the original manuscript at the National Archives, which is faded and barely legible. This exhibit features original artifacts, images and videos that illustrate how Congress and Americans have commemorated the Declaration on its milestone anniversaries. @visitthecapitol Link to exhibit: visitthecapitol.gov/explore/…

Excited to announce my new book "Speaking of America", published by @DukePress and @librarycongress, is coming out October 6, 2026. If you love history, innovation, and America you'll love these interviews I conducted with noted historians and innovators before members of Congress at the Library of Congress over the past 10+ years. Here is a link to the cover/foreword/introduction. tinyurl.com/yxr7zzd2

Philanthropy is an ancient Greek word that means loving humanity. Everyone can be a philanthropist...it's not just rich people writing checks. Please give your time, talent, and treasure to help make our country the best it can be. Thanks @BloombergTV for this story on Patriotic Philanthropy within the context of America 250. bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…

On July 4th, we celebrate a document that changed the world, but how many of us know the story behind it? For example, John Adams said that July 2nd would be the day we mark our independence. What happened? I've spent years studying American history and trying to make it more accessible to more people by restoring historic sites and preserving founding documents. I've also placed replicas of the Declaration in U.S. embassies around the world and in arenas and stadiums across the country so Americans encounter it not just in history class, but in the places where they actually spend their time. On the occasion of our 250th anniversary, I am pleased to share some thoughts on the history behind the holiday - what we're really celebrating on July 4th and why understanding that history matters. @OneCarlyle carlyle.com/from-davids-desk…

See inside the "undercroft", the cavernous space beneath the Lincoln Memorial. The Memorial was built on a swamp. 100+ concrete pillars standing on bedrock support the Memorial above. Great video and light show. @NationalParkFdn @NatlParkService @Interior

Another iconic memorial in Washington has a new museum....The Jefferson Memorial. We did an official ribbon-cutting today. Thanks to the @NationalParkFdn @NatlParkService @Interior and @RepWesterman for your efforts to bring this needed rehab to fruition. Thanks also to fellow philanthropist John Nau for his support of this and other NPS sites. Please visit and learn more about the genius of Thomas Jefferson.
