Come see the display, study the Constitution and fly your flag to show your patriotism during Constitution Week.

The free lecture is part of the museum’s History Sandwiched-In education program. Bring a sandwich and join in.

The annual celebration of the Constitution was started by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, DAR petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into public law on August 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
