The National Archives has selected Museum of Miami Museum in downtown Miami as one of eight museums nationwide to host the National Archives’ “Freedom Plane National Tour: Documents That Forged a Nation,” a traveling exhibition marking the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Announced today by the National Archives and Records Administration, the Freedom Plane National Tour will bring original Founding-era documents to communities across the country throughout 2026. Inspired by the Bicentennial Freedom Train, the exhibition expands public access to records fundamental to the nation’s founding, many of which have not traveled outside Washington, D.C. in decades.
The documents will travel together and arrive to much fanfare on June 15, 2026, via a specially designated aircraft. Museum of Miami will host the exhibition June 20 through July 5 presenting Miamians, Floridians, and visitors to the state with a rare opportunity to experience these historic documents firsthand on the very day it celebrates America’s semiquincentennial year, July 4, 2026.
