We want to hear about your Community Colonial Day. Please email bwheelock@ofe.org to let us know when and where your event is being held so we can track the success of this online service. We also welcome photos, video, or other resources we can add to this web site to help other teachers. We appreciate your input. Thank you!

 

Historical Documents

OFE Trustee Chip Oppenheim and Thomas Jefferson interpreter display a copy of the ConstitutionThe Historical Documents Company of Philadelphia produces parchment replicas of such historical documents as the Declaration of Independence, Patrick Henry’s 1775 famous speech, the Bill of Rights, Articles of Confederation, and more.

At Colonial Day at the Capitol, we have sought out a sponsor to pay for copies of the Declaration of Independence to present to each student attending Colonial Day. The Historical Documents Company provides significant discount rates if you purchase the documents in bulk for educational activities. Some teachers roll the documents and tie them with ribbon, attaching a feather quill as a memento from Colonial Day.

For information, contact Matt Buber, Historical Documents Co., at 800-700-7265.
