American Revolution Experience Traveling Exhibit

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. The free exhibit will be available to the public at the Anthem Civic Building in Anthem from February 3-8. The exhibit will also be displayed privately in schools in Surprise and Lake Havasu City. The Mohave County Library will display the exhibit March 3-8 in Lake Havasu. Watch ASDAR’s social media for additional updates. Exhibit admission is free thanks to the local DAR chapters: Agua Fria, Anasazi, Apache Trail, Havasu and Ocotillo. 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
