A local museum is honoring America's 250th birthday by diving into the Declaration of Independence, and what it means to Americans today. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Candace Summers with the McLean County Museum of History told the Hart Media Group that on (Today/Tomorrow) Saturday, February 28th, they are inviting the community to join them in the first session of a new series called Democracy Dialogues. 

This is just the first in the series. Summers explains that throughout the year, they will be diving into foundational ideas like the pursuit of happiness and all men being created equal.
