The museum, <b>which just opened on April 19th</b>, 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><u><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:blue'>Special Dinner<o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:red'>Spring Pea and Asparagus Soup with Barley and Lemon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:red'>MARYLAND SOFT SHELL CRABS, MEUNIERE<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:red'> E</span><span style='color:red'>MINCÉ OF VEAL AND VEAL KIDNEY, SAUTÉ<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:red'>ROAST ENGLISH LOIN OF LAMB, LENTIL BEAN SALAD<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:red'>Mesclun Greens with Shaved Fennel, Parmesan Cheese and Toasted Sunflower Seeds, Fresh Herb Vinaigrette<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:red'>Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp, Vanilla Ice Cream</span><span style='font-size:16.0pt;color:red'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:blue'>Please contact the Club if you would like to attend the trip, dinner or both! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Monotype Corsiva";color:blue'>Pamela J.
