CINCINNATI - The "America I Am" exhibit, one of the features at the Cincinnati Musuem Center, has a new addition today.
That addition is one of 25 remaining copies of the Declaration of Independence. It was found in the back of a picture frame bought for $4 at a Pennsylvania Flea Market. The copy was then bought by television producer Norman Lear and his wife for $8 million with the goal being to bring "the people's document" directly to the American people.
It will be on loan to the Museum center and a part of the "America I Am" exhibit. It will be on display through October 3rd.
