Member Morning: Making the Museum Lecture

Join fellow Museum Members on a select weekend each month for special Members-only tours of our galleries, special exhibitions, and historic neighborhood. 

The Museum of the American Revolution opened in 2017, but its history reaches back over a century. Where did our collection come from? How did an Episcopal minister in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, acquire Washington’s war tent, and what did that acquisition have to do with the American Civil War?  How did our Museum end up in downtown Philadelphia? What new discoveries have we made from recent acquisitions? This 45-minute lecture highlights key artifacts from our collection and offers a behind-the-scenes look at their conservation and continuing care.  

Our monthly Member Mornings are free for Museum Members to attend with advance registration. Not yet a Museum Member? Become a member today.
