Dear John,

As the year comes to an end, the Bill of Rights Institute wishes you a Happy Holiday! We appreciate and value your continued support of our resources.

In the New Year, we are looking forward to America's upcoming 250th birthday. We are committed to providing helpful and engaging resources that display how the Declaration of Independence has endured throughout our complicated history.

Coming Soon! A250 Declaration Decoders

We are introducing an escape-room style classroom activity designed for middle school classrooms that decodes the Declaration of Independence and its references throughout time.

Declaration Decoders transforms traditional DBQ exercises into an interactive, puzzle-driven experience. Students step into the role of historians, helping curate a museum exhibit for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence

Through both physical and digital elements students will ultimately explore the links between the Declaration of Independence, the Seneca Falls Convention, the Gettysburg Address, Theodore Roosevelt's New Nationalism Speech, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have a Dream Speech.

A250 Declaration Decoders will be available for FREE in 2026 with limited availability. Complete our interest form for the opportunity to receive it in late February!
