Let's time travel back to 1976! We're celebrating America's 250th by highlighting an item from our collection each month that was gifted to President Ford during Bicentennial celebrations. The pieces are weird, wacky & wonderful - you won't believe what ended up in the Museum!

Shortly after assuming the role of First Lady, Betty Ford received a breast cancer diagnosis. On September 26, 1974, doctors discovered a tumor, leading to a mastectomy two days later. Breaking with social conventions of the time, Ford openly shared her diagnosis with the public.

Drafted by the Confederation Congress at the same time as the Constitution, the Ordinance outlined a framework for government in the northwest territory, defining the rights guaranteed in that territory, and creating a process for admitting new states to the United States.
