Have you ever wondered what happens in a museum after the building closes and the lights go out? Now’s your chance!
Join us for a special sleepover at the National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, and spend the night next to America’s most precious treasures: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
During the event kids ages 8-12 along with their adults will become superhero citizens, meet heroes from history, learn the power and responsibility of government and its citizens, sleep in the Rotunda near the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and make memories to last a lifetime.
Guests also will be treated to movies in the museum’s William G. McGowan Theater before turning in for the night, and will enjoy breakfast – with pancakes flipped by Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero! – and more activities the next morning.
Only 1 month until the last #ArchivesSleepover of 2016!
