To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the war for independence, the Elizabeth Hutchinson Jackson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Lancaster County Historical Commission are excited to feature the American Revolution Experience at the Lancaster County Historic Courthouse from January 11 to January 27. The innovative pop-up exhibition includes display panels and interactive digital kiosks that use storytelling, illustration, technology and unique artifacts. The American Revolution Experience features custom illustrations by South Carolina artist, Dale Watson. 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 surfaces 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 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 global events.
The exhibit will run from Saturday, January 11, 2025, through Monday, January 27, 2025. Admission is free. For more information on the exhibit, visit https://www.battlefields.org/events/traveling-exhibition-lancaster-county-historic-courthouse.
