Give Me Liberty: Virginia & The Forging of a Nation will explore the unique and essential Virginia people, events, and sites that helped bring liberty and democracy to a nation. Commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this exhibit will highlight the complex, diverse and inspiring Virginia history which is, in fact, America’s story.
Composed of 10 double-sided traveling banners, located in the lower level of the historic house, Give Me Liberty will provide context for the coming of the Revolution in Virginia and brings visitors into the core of the action from 1774 through 1776, highlighting how the American Revolution was a war, and more than a war. This exhibit is included with general admission to Poplar Forest.
