HADLEY — A 200-year-old engraving of the Declaration of Independence will be publicly displayed at the Hadley Public Library on Saturday as part of a special exhibit marking the 250th anniversary of the United States.

The exhibit, which will also feature a second engraving of the Declaration of Independence, an illustrated 1845 Herman Phelps broadside, will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the 50 Middle St. location.

Alan Weinberg, president of the Hadley Historical Society, said that 1820 Eleazer Huntington broadside engraving’s restoration was completed using town Community Preservation Act funding.

The engraving was originally donated to the Hadley chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1909. That organization, which went defunct, then gave the engraving to the the historical society.

According to information from the historical society, Huntington, an engraver and penmanship author based in Hartford, created a calligraphic facsimile of the Declaration of Independence, but stripped out the ornaments and illustrations that had been added by previous publishers. This returned the document to the simple title and text of the original, while also providing the signatures of the signers in exact facsimile.

The Phelps Declaration of Independence document is more colorful, with the text surrounded by wood-engraved vignettes by William Barritt. Those vignettes include a portrait of George Washington at the top and the armorial bearings of the 13 original states.

As part of Saturday’s event, there will also be an informational display of houses in Hadley that have been standing since the American Revolution, with narratives and photos of these buildings.

The Porter Phelps Huntington Museum will also have its panel display “Forty Acres & The American Revolution: Stories of Independence and Servitude” up, and various weapons and diaries from the same era will be shown.
