The National Archives claims to have the original on display in Washington DC, however, each of the 13 colonies got their own copy of the Constitution as well as Congress. Something like 20 copies are said to exist. Obviously one copy was made before the others, but I don't know why the National Archives is certain theirs was first unless they've had it this whole time.
