Visitors follow a chronological journey from the roots of conflict in the
1760s to the rise of armed resistance, the
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_Independence> Declaration of
Independence of 1776 through the final years of the war.  The museum, which
just opened on April 19th, owns a distinguished collection of several
thousand objects including artwork and sculpture, textiles and weapons,
manuscripts and rare books. Permanent and special exhibition galleries,
theaters and large-scale tableaux will bring to life the original "greatest
generation," and engage people in the history and continuing relevance of
the American Revolution.  One gallery features a full-scale replica of
Boston's Liberty Tree, the recreation of an Oneida Indian Council House, the
Battlefield Theater, a recreation of Independence Hall, and a large model of
an 18th-century privateer ship. A dedicated theater will house one of the
most iconic surviving artifacts of the Revolution: General Washington's
Headquarters Tent, which served as both his office and sleeping quarters
throughout much of the war.
