In a first-of-its-kind event, the Georgia Historical Society will publicly display Abraham Baldwin's draft copy of the United States Constitution on Thursday in Savannah, in commemoration of Constitution Day 2015. One of only 13 still in existence, the draft includes the handwritten margin notes of Baldwin, one of Georgia's signers of the Constitution of 1787. "This is a unique opportunity to view one the greatest treasures in the Georgia Historical Society collection and see the handwritten notes made by Abraham Baldwin during the Constitutional Convention of 1787," said Dr. W. Todd Groce, president and CEO of the Georgia Historical Society.
