Although the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, has a number interesting facts associated with it, there is no map leading to a National Treasure.
For those who want to explore Independence Day with history-based-but-not-always-accurate media there is 1776 for those who like musicals, Last of the Mohicans (or read it) for those who want to explore the events that lead to the American Revolution, The Patriot that explores the southern campaign of the Revolutionary War, and Independence Day for those who like aliens.
