WASHINGTON—The National Archives welcomed a handful of journalists for a sneak peek, hard-hat tour on June 4 of a new exhibit opening later in 2025.

“The American Story” exposition is set to open on Oct. 23, in advance of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, after $40 million in renovations and more than three years of design and planning.
