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.
The Connecticut charter was hidden in a hollowed-out tree, known as the Charter Oak, during the late 17th century.

Eventually, the charter was discovered, but it remained a significant part of Connecticut's history.
