We’ve all seen the movie National Treasure, where history is a high-stakes adventure filled with hidden maps and secret codes. But did you know there is a real-life mystery surrounding the Declaration of Independence that is just as compelling? In this episode of Lost in America, Jeff Dixon reveals that while we all know the famous signed version in the National Archives, there were actually 200 original copies printed by John Dunlap. Today, only 26 of those original “Dunlap Broadsides” are known to exist. Where are the other 174? From dusty attics to forgotten crates, these priceless pieces of American history are still waiting to be discovered. Join us at the Church of 434 as we celebrate America 250 by exploring the beauty of discovery—not just in our nation’s past, but in our walk with God. There is always something new to learn if you know where to look!

Long before the bright lights of Broadway defined New York City, the city was a stronghold for the British Army during the Revolutionary War. But while the Redcoats were firmly entrenched in their fight against American independence, they were also spending their evenings in a very unexpected way: as stage actors. In this episode of Lost in America, we uncover the fascinating history of British soldiers who moonlighted as Shakespearean performers while occupying New York. While George Washington’s “upstart” Americans were too busy fighting for freedom to establish a theater scene, the British troops were bringing sophisticated drama to the colonies. Join us at the Church of 434 as we celebrate America 250 by exploring the lighter—and sometimes stranger—side of our nation’s founding history. Don’t get lost in the shuffle; the details are what make our history great!

Think you know the story of the American Revolution? As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, it’s time to look beyond the textbooks and uncover the secrets that almost ended the United States before it truly began. In the premiere of our new series, Lost in America, we investigate a chilling conspiracy from 1776: a high-level plot to assassinate George Washington. The most shocking part? The mastermind wasn’t a British soldier on the battlefield—it was Thomas Hickey, Washington’s own personal bodyguard. From the involvement of the New York Mayor to the secret committee that foiled the plan, this episode explores how a moment of deep betrayal led to the birth of American intelligence and the eventual foundations of the CIA. Join us at the Church of 434 as we celebrate #America250 by uncovering the forgotten history that shaped the land of the free.
