Traveling Exhibit Featuring American Revolution Open at KHS Through November 22
The Kentucky Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution is hosting a new traveling exhibit in partnership with the American Battlefield Trust. It will be on display at the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History from November 6 to 22, 2024.
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? What would you choose?
The traveling exhibit includes 12 panels highlighting thematic connections between profiled individuals and three interactive kiosks that connect to the full digital biographies, provide documentary context on the Revolutionary War and offer information on how to visit the places tied to these individuals today. Both online and on-site, the American Revolution Experience features custom illustrations by South Carolina-based artist Dale Watson. The exhibit also draws from documents and objects in DAR’s collection, as well as the Trust’s industry-leading digital interpretation resources.
