In 2026, America will commemorate 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the development of a new nation dedicated to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Join Assistant Manager, Mark Farnsworth, as he explores how stories and objects held shaped our new country’s historical memory. How did "the land of 1776" acquire a past? And to what extent has our collective memory of that past been an ongoing process.
This presentation kicks off our site’s commemoration of the United States 250th year, North Carolina is celebrating this important historical milestone with a program entitled, “America 250 NC”.
