America 250 Exhibit Opens July 4th
Plans are underway here at the museum to
celebrate 250 years of our nations independence
on July 4th starting with an exhibit of
250 items that tell our American story. We
are asking for your help in making this exhibit
a reality by loaning items for the exhibit.
These items can be anything that says “This
is America: from historical items, photos and
documents to memorabilia and souvenirs from
visits to Nathinal Parks, monuments, and landmarks to American
symbols like eagles, flags, and Uncle Sam, to favrite past times such
as sporting events, cars, parades, fairs and even our favorite foods
like hot doges hamburs, apple pie and barbecue. Anything that
symbolizes our great nation is the story we want to share.
The exhibit will be open for viewing, July 4th, so we request that
all loaned items be delivered to the museum by June 20th, to allow
sufficient time to prepare the exhibit. We hope you will join us in
commemorating the 250th anniversary of our nation declaring its
independence and forming the United States of America by sharing
your story with us. More events are being planed for the day so
stay tuned for more details as they develop.
