Lost in America (s1e3) – Real-Life National Treasure: The 174 Missing Declarations

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! #America250 #DeclarationOfIndependence #NationalTreasure #DunlapBroadside #HiddenHistory #AmericanHistory #FoundingFathers #HistoricalDiscovery
