The American Revolution Experience traveling exhibit represents a partnership between the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Battlefield Trust. The exhibition highlights the diverse viewpoints and experiences of those who witnessed the dawn of a new nation.

Thanks to the Esther McCrory Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Amarillo Public Library is one of only a handful of libraries selected to host this illuminating and educational exhibit.

This 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.

The American Revolution Experience will be on display at the Downtown Amarillo Public Library during regular library hours through Tuesday, October 22.
