The Commonwealth marks 344 years in March, when King Charles II gifted William Penn a charter in 1681. The King signed the charter on March 4.
On March 9, the PHMC will show off that charter, written on parchment with iron gall ink, for a special public viewing.
It will be on display from 12 to 4 p.m. March 9 at the Pennsylvania State Archives, 1681 North Sixth Street in Harrisburg.
Many museums statewide will offer free admission that day as well, including the State Museum in Harrisburg, the Railroad Museum in Strasburg, the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum in Lancaster, and the Ephrata Cloister in Ephrata, among others.
