No, the draft of the Declaration of Independence was not hidden in a tree. This is a myth that likely stems from stories about the secrecy surrounding its creation. The document was primarily drafted by Thomas Jefferson in June 1776 and was kept under wraps until it was officially adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. While there were discussions and debates about the document, there is no historical evidence to suggest it was hidden in a tree.

Was the charter of Connecticut ever brought out of hiding?

Yes, the Charter of Connecticut was famously brought out of hiding. In 1662, King Charles II granted the charter to the Connecticut colony, but it was hidden during the English Civil War due to fears of royalist reprisals. The charter was hidden in a tree, known as the "Charter Oak," and it remained there until it was safely retrieved after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. The story of the charter's hiding has since become an important part of Connecticut's history.
