Witness to Revolution: The Unlikely Travels of Washington's Tent
Explore the tent's journey from the Revolutionary War to the present day and why generations of Americans and visitors from abroad have found inspiration in its presence.
"... the crown jewel in the collection [...] oh, the stories it could tell."
Our current special exhibition, Witness to Revolution: The Unlikely Travels of Washington’s Tent, open through Jan. 5, 2025, greatly expands the story told in the Museum’s award-winning film and brings to life the stories of individuals from all walks of life who saved George Washington’s tent from being lost over the generations and who ultimately fashioned this relic into a symbol of the fragile American republic. It brings together, in many cases for the first time, inspiring works of art, rare documents, and significant historical objects from public and private collections across the United States.
