The Stoney Creek Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Rochester Hills Public Library are excited to announce the opening of the American Revolution Experience on Sunday, January 11.
The pop-up exhibition includes 12 display panels and interactive digital kiosks that use storytelling, illustration, technology, unique artifacts, and primary accounts to connect modern audiences with the people and places that shaped the birth of the nation. Created through a collaboration between the American Battlefield Trust and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, the exhibit is also made possible by generous matching funds from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program battlefield interpretation grants.
The exhibit runs from Sunday, January 11, to Saturday, January 17, during open hours on the second floor of Rochester Hills Public Library. The DAR will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sunday, January 11, at 2 p.m. and invites patrons of all ages to help open the exhibit with remarks from local dignitaries, refreshments, and a “Liber-tea” activity for kids.
“The American Revolution would not have happened without the decisions, sacrifices, and valor of ordinary people,” said DAR President General Pamela Rouse Wright. “DAR is honored to have collaborated with the American Battlefield Trust on this initiative to highlight some of our Patriots and their roles in the founding of this great country. We are thrilled for people in communities across the country to learn more about these individuals.”
The American Revolution Experience invites visitors to consider the choice faced by members of the revolutionary generation as tensions mounted in the 1770s: Would these ordinary citizens risk their lives and livelihoods in pursuit of liberty? Or would they remain loyal subjects of the British crown, coming into conflict with neighbors and family? Rather than focusing only on generals and famous statesmen, it introduces audiences to drummer boys, military mapmakers, and other ordinary people who were impacted by global events.
Rochester Hills Public Library is among libraries, historical societies, and museums throughout the country that will host the American Revolution Experience through 2026, introducing visitors to a cast of historical characters with diverse experiences throughout the conflict and the places they visited on their journey.
