This nifty portable desk has an outsized role in history. Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence on this desk in June 1776. Jefferson himself had designed the desk, including a hinged writing board and a locking drawer for papers, pens, and inkwell. The desk was Jefferson’s companion as a Revolutionary patriot, American diplomat, and president of the United States.
Late in his life, Jefferson attached a note to the bottom, saying that the desk would likely become a treasured relic, “for its great association with the birth of the Great Charter of our Independence.” Jefferson's desk is just one of the many artifacts from the nation's democratic history that will be going on display in the museum's new, permanent exhibition "American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith," opening June 28.
