The National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, will display the original Emancipation Proclamation along with General Order No. 3. The order, issued on June 19 1865, declares “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free” and will go on view from Thursday, June 19, to Sunday, June 22, 2025. Exhibit hours are 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. ET; timed ticket entry is available, but not required.

“The annual public exhibition of President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and this important military order provides a regular opportunity to reinforce how America’s founding principles ultimately ended slavery, ” said Jim Byron, Senior Advisor to the Acting Archivist of the United States.

"The Emancipation Proclamation and General Order No. 3 together tell a critical story of our nation's journey to a more perfect union," said Chair and President of the National Archives Foundation Rodney Slater. "These documents are among the vast treasure trove of the National Archives holdings and we're excited to have them on display for visitors this summer."
