April 17, 2024
Ridgefield, Conn.— One week only! Don’t miss your chance to view the American Revolution Experience traveling exhibit at Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center (KTM&HC) this Saturday, April 20 through Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily in the Visitor Center. Admission is free for all! The exhibit, brought to KTM&HC through the local Cannon Ridge Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), details the diverse experiences of a cast of historical characters living during the late 1700s, as Americans fought for their independence from Britain.
The innovative pop-up exhibition, set up in KTM&HC’s Visitor Center, includes display panels and interactive digital kiosks that use storytelling, illustration, technology, and unique artifacts and primary accounts to connect modern audiences with Revolutionary War-era people and places. Created through a collaboration between the American Battlefield Trust and the NSDAR, the exhibit is also made possible by generous matching funds from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program battlefield interpretation grants. American Revolution Experience helps audiences learn, reflect, and commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence: America250.
The exhibit is on view for free to all audiences for the week leading up to the anniversary of the Battle of Ridgefield: Saturday, April 20 through Saturday, April 27, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily in the Visitor Center. Registration is not required. Extend your stay on select days by taking a tour of our historic tavern museum – tours run Thursdays through Sundays.
KTM&HC thanks the Cannon Ridge Chapter of NSDAR for securing this exciting opportunity for the museum to host the exhibit during its national tour.
