The American Revolution Experience pop-up exhibition is opening at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building in Ormond Beach on George Washington's birthday, Saturday, Feb. 22.
The 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 shape the birth of our nation, according to a press release by the Ormond Beach Historical Society.
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 Services American Battlefield Protection Program grants. The free exhibit will run through March 3, and it will be open to the public daily.
The Ormond Beach Historical Society is among the libraries, historical societies and museums in the U.S. that will host the American Revolution Experience in 2025, but the only venue in the immediate area. A longer-term mounting of the exhibit will remain at DAR’s national headquarters in Washington, D.C.
In support of the exhibit, the Ormond Beach Historical Society is planning a number of events throughout, including programs on Florida's role in the Revolutionary War, re-enactors portraying George and Martha Washington and Alexander Hamilton, a Washington's Birthday Party, and a Tea Party. The Capt. James Ormond Chapter of DAR and the Daytona-Ormond Chapter of Sons of the American Revolution are assisting.
