Myths About the Declaration of Independence (Bonus Episode!) - a podcast by DC by Foot

Tour Guide Tell All is ready for the 4th of July, except that we celebrate on the WRONG day! We are here to tell the real story about the Declaration of Independence and how we
have all been living a lie for over 200 years.

This week we have a special guest from Philadelphia, tour guide Jenn Hensell from our sister outfit, Philly Tours By Foot, to help us break down the truth and the myths surrounding this most famous of American documents.
