We tell the story of how America was founded — through the documents, the people who wrote them, and the writers and broadcasters who keep that story alive for the next generation.
Our Mission
Everything on the site works toward one thing: understanding where the country came from.
Historians, teachers, students and storytellers: we're looking for people who want to write about the founding and the American story. Every creator is featured with their permission, and their work stays theirs.
