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.
