Freedom: A History of US Pop Up Exhibit

Weekly on Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri

-
In celebration of the United States of America’s 250th birthday, we are bringing exciting new pop-up exhibits from our friends at The Gilder Lehrman Collection to the White Bear Lake Area! “Freedom: The History of Us” Since 1776, when the United States declared independence from Great Britain, the idea of freedom and our understanding of its implications have changed dramatically. Drawing on materials from the Gilder Lehrman Collection, this exhibition traces the evolving concept of freedom from the founding era to the election of Barack Obama. Among the highlights are a rare 1776 printing of the Declaration of Independence, a printed draft and the official copy of the US Constitution, Lincoln’s handwritten notes for speeches, and letters by leading figures such as Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King Jr., and more.

History Program: Money Talks - Banking, Robberies & Money Moves

Join us at the White Bear Lake Armory for a new program focused on banking, currency, and crime in the Lake Area, courtesy of our in-house currency expert, Dan Jones! Together, we’ll learn how banking began, explore our community’s connection to the Federal Banking System, hear stories of local robberies (we have more than one!), and discover how US currency has changed over time – all tied into the upcoming 250th Anniversary of the United States. This is sure to be a unique evening of local history you won’t want to miss! Free to attend at the White Bear Lake Armory! No registration necessary.
