The Declaration of Independence in Kennebunk

Maine Historical Society stewards one of 26 surviving copies of the Dunlap Broadside of the Declaration printed in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, and sent to the Colonies to announce American independence. This year, the Declaration will travel across Maine to all 16 counties with great pomp and circumstance. The Brick Store Museum is incredibly proud to host the Declaration of Independence for York County.

Please visit during the Declaration's three-day stop in Kennebunk to find activities, programs, our "Results of Revolution" exhibition, and of course, the Declaration on view.
