A rare collection of nine original Founding‑era documents is hitting the road, well, the skies, as the National Archives launches its Freedom Plane National Tour. The traveling exhibition will fly aboard a custom‑painted Boeing 737, bringing these cornerstone pieces of American history to eight U.S. cities in celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
One of those locations is Kansas City and the WWI Museum and Memorial. Dr. Chris Warren, the Chief Curator, says it’s the first time these documents will be viewed outside Washington D.C.
