Exhibit Highlights

January

New Year’s is a great time for fresh starts. We all make mistakes, and we all have bad habits – but we also have the power to fix those mistakes and to change those habits. Is there somebody with whom you would like to patch things up? Take inspiration from our wall of Nobel Peace Prize winners – 19 Americans who worked hard to bring people together, to repair relationships, and to speak for peace. You’ll find this exhibit in our Let Freedom Ring gallery, which celebrates hundreds of heroes from the United States of America. Learn the stories of these Americans, and hundreds of other heroes from all around the world, only at the National Liberty Museum – “America’s Home for Heroes.”

Craft Corner

January

Baseball players, Pokemon, and the Jack of Diamonds all get their own cards. What about Heroes of Character? They do too! Every weekend at the National Liberty Museum you can create your very own Hero Trading Cards. Think of someone who’s important to you, or find a hero in our Museum. Then, draw them! Make sure you put their stats on the back, like how your hero helps others and what awards he or she has won. When you’re done, you’ll have your very own Hero Trading Card to show off. Help spread the idea that everyone has what it takes to be a hero. And who knows – sometime in the future, maybe someone will put you on a Hero Trading Card!

Exhibit Highlights
February
Black History Month is a time for us all to reflect on the history of African–Americans since the founding of our nation. What began as the terrible kidnapping and enslavement of millions of innocent people slowly progressed through the efforts of brave civil rights leaders to the point where a man of African heritage would became our 44th President.  The National Liberty Museum invites you to trace this remarkable journey throughout our building.  Begin with the picture of a slave named Peter in our Coming to America gallery.  Then, wind your way through inspiring accounts of hundreds of African-American heroes. Their stories reaffirm America’s belief in our nation’s founding principle; although the road has been long and the journey difficult, we remain committed to liberty and justice for all.

Craft Corner
February
Our February Craft Corner is inspired by a treasured tradition in African-American culture, quilting. From our nation’s earliest days, quilts were used for many purposes... to convey stories, preserve traditions, record family history, and of course, keep a person warm!  Some believe that quilts even held secret messages for those seeking to escape slavery through the Underground Railroad.  Be sure to visit the Museum in February to create your very own African-American-Inspired “paper” quilt.  You may also enjoy a copy of  ‘Stitchin’ and Pullin,’ one of many award-winning books for Black History Month available in our gift store.
