Rhode Island Celebrates 250 with Declaration Tours

Rhode Island is turning history into celebration as it prepares to mark America’s 250th birthday by showcasing its three original copies of the Declaration of Independence. Secretary of State Gregg Amore and the Rhode Island 250 Commission are bringing these iconic documents to communities across the state, starting in South Kingstown on June 20 and continuing through July. With stops in Providence, Newport, and Woonsocket—including a special July 4th display at the State House—this initiative invites everyone to connect with the nation’s founding story. Thanks to the State Archives, State Police, and local partners, Rhode Island is making sure this pivotal document remains accessible and alive for all residents.
