SALT LAKE CITY — One of the 25 surviving original copies of the Declaration of Independence will head to Denver after display Friday and Saturday at the Utah Capitol.
It’s on a tour of 17 cities as part of a voter-registration drive. After leaving Salt Lake, it will go to Denver for display during the Democratic National Convention.
Norman Lear, producer of television shows like “All In The Family,” owns the copy.
Lear bought the copy for $8.4 million at a 2000 auction. It was discovered by a Philadelphia man who bought a frame at a flea market for $4 and found it tucked in behind a picture. He sold it for $2.4 million in 1991 before Lear became the owner.
