SUMMARY:Red Sox to Display Replica of the Declaration of Independence at Fenway Park
DESCRIPTION:RED SOX TO DISPLAY REPLICA OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AT FENWAY PARK \nFramed Archival Print on Display in the Volvo Royal Rooters Club Today\, June 14 through July 4 as Part of the Nation’s 250th Anniversary Celebration \nThe Boston Red Sox today announced that a framed replica of the Declaration of Independence\, generously gifted to the Red Sox by David Rubenstein\, Co-founder of the Carlyle Group and principal owner of the Baltimore Orioles\, will be on public display at Fenway Park beginning today\, Sunday\, June 14 through Independence Day\, Friday\, July 4\, as part of the Nation’s 250th Anniversary Celebration. \nThe replica will be on display in a secure\, climate-controlled setting in the Volvo Royal Rooters Club at Fenway Park. Fans can view it in two ways: \nGate B Fan Services Booth: All fans attending a home game are encouraged to stop by the Gate B Fan Services Booth\, where a Red Sox Ambassador will escort them to the Volvo Royal Rooters Club for a brief viewing. This service is available from the third inning through the conclusion of each home game. \nFenway Park Tours: The replica will be a featured stop on all Fenway Park Tours throughout the display period. The one-hour guided walking tour takes fans through more than a century of Red Sox history\, from the Green Monster and Pesky’s Pole to the Red Sox Hall of Fame and includes a visit to the Volvo Royal Rooters Club. Public tours depart at the top of each hour\, seven days a week\, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last tour departs three hours before first pitch on game days). The 15-minute “Fenway in Fifteen” tour is available on game days and weekends from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets and information are available at redsox.com/tours. Advance booking is recommended\, particularly on game days and weekends. Mastercard is the preferred payment method of the Boston Red Sox. \nAbout the Replica \nThe replica is a 2026 archival pigment print based on the copper-plate engraving created by William J. Stone in 1823. Stone was commissioned by then-Secretary of State John Quincy Adams to produce an exact facsimile of the original Declaration of Independence\, which had already begun to show signs of aging. Stone spent three years completing the copper-plate engraving\, and the 200 parchment copies printed from it in 1823 were distributed to the three surviving signers\, President Monroe\, Congress\, the Supreme Court\, and state and university libraries across the country. The prints made from Stone’s engraving are the versions of the Declaration most familiar to Americans today. \nThe replica was gifted to the Red Sox as part of an effort by noted philanthropist David M. Rubenstein to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and remind the public why we celebrate. The framed print is accompanied by a brass plaque reading: “Declaration of Independence Ratified on July 4\, 1776 – For the 250th Anniversary – An Archival Pigment Print\, 2026 of William J. Stone’s Engraving.”
