Declaration of Independence manuscript on rare display in New York City

“One of the rarest and most important documents in American history — a draft copy of the Declaration of Independence handwritten by Thomas Jefferson — was on display in New York City this week. The New York Public Library acquired the manuscript at auction in 1896. It’s only brought out once a year due to its fragile nature; when not on display, it’s kept in a vault to preserve its condition. Jericka Duncan reports. Source
