Discover intriguing exhibits that tell the stories of those who lived through and survived the American Revolution
The Museum of the American Revolution creates virtual and in-person immersive, engaging experiences that explore the nuanced and inspiring story of the nation’s founding. Students will learn how the early stages of rebellion took hold and discover how the Revolution survived its darkest hours through stories from people on all sides, from loyalists and colonists to enslaved and free people of color.
Students will encounter immersive galleries that challenge them to consider what the Revolution was like from the perspectives of people who experienced it. They’ll stand beneath the branches of a life-size recreation of Boston’s Liberty Tree, climb aboard a replica privateer ship to load a cannon, and listen to members of the Oneida Indian Nation discuss whether to side with the Continental Army. They’ll gain a deeper understanding of the diverse people and complex events that sparked the ongoing American experiment.
Enhance your visit with our hands-on classroom programs. Examine replica artifacts in Thinking Like a Historian, learn about life on a military campaign in Within These Walls, and witness history Through Their Eyes, the Museum’s flagship in-gallery experience. Explore the opportunities and challenges faced by people of African descent in Whose Liberty? These programs can take place in person or virtually and serve as an excellent complement to the Museum’s guided gallery experience.
