The quill pen was used to sign theDeclaration of Independence, but did people in the 1850s still use quills aspens? Steel pens had been invented, but there was still a lot to be learnedbefore they would take over. Come on out and try your hand at writing with oneof our chicken or duck feathers! Don’t worry, the ink will come off yourfingers… Eventually!
