The Declaration of Independence Plaque

Boston Common, near Tremont Street. Sculpture by John Paramino.

This bronze plaque was installed on the Common in 1925 to celebrate and commemorate American independence. On the plaque is an almost word-for-word inscription of the Declaration of Independence itself. Above the inscription of the Declaration of Independence is a beautiful recreation of the famous historical painting by John Trumbell, depicting the signing of the history-changing document.
