Just in time for U.S. Independence Day, MyHeritage is offering free access to the entire collection of 151,432,486 U.S. newspaper pages on OldNews.com from July 3 to 5, 2025!

This is a great opportunity to uncover family stories, local happenings, and historical context in American papers dating back generations. Whether you’re looking for an ancestor’s wedding announcement or just curious about your town’s July 4th headlines from the past, there’s a treasure trove waiting on OldNews.com.

It’s a limited-time opportunity to dig deep without a paid subscription. Feel free to use the graphic above, and check out the blog post to learn more. 

Also, we created two super fun AI videos in honor of July 4th: one showing “behind the scenes” of the declaration’s signing, and one imagining the British people reacting to the declaration of independence. Please enjoy, and have a chuckle.

Enjoy!
