The American Revolution Experience traveling exhibit will be on display at the Marshall County Museum from October 14 through October 25.
The innovative pop-up exhibition includes display panels and interactive digital kiosks that use storytelling, illustration, technology and unique artifacts and primary accounts to connect modern audiences with the people and places that shaped the birth of our nation. Created through a collaboration between the American Battlefield Trust and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, the exhibit is also made possible by generous matching funds from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program battlefield interpretation grants.
“Our local DAR chapter members are excited to bring this award-winning exhibit to the people of our county and the surrounding area,” said Cheryl Ball, REAL Daughters Non/DAR Co-Chair and Liaison to the Marshall County America 250 Committee. “In anticipation of the 250th celebration of the birth of our nation on July 4, 2026, this is a wonderful opportunity for all to learn more about the Revolutionary War and the founding of our country. The exhibit is designed for students beginning at the third-grade level through adults. This may be the only time this exhibition will be in the northern part of the state. We encourage everyone to take time to see this exhibit. Special handouts to enhance your experience will be available.”
The American Revolution Experience invites visitors to consider the choice faced by members of the revolutionary generation as tensions mounted in the 1770s: Would these ordinary citizens risk their lives and livelihoods in pursuit of liberty? Or would they remain loyal subjects of the British Crown, coming into conflict with neighbors and family? The exhibit shares diverse viewpoints and experiences, touching on the journeys – both literal and figurative – of Patriots and Loyalists, men and women, Black and Native populations, and even those of international allies. Rather than focusing only on generals and famous statesmen, it introduces audiences to drummer boys, military mapmakers, and other ordinary people who were impacted by these global events.
The Grand Opening will be on Tuesday at 11:00 am.
Groups of 10 or more need to please call 574-835-8325 to make special arrangements. For more information about the exhibit, please call the Museum at 574-936-2306.
