Revolutionary Lives Exhibition On View (Friday, October 09, 2026)

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Exhibit On View: October 9 - October 23

New Jersey's diversity mirrors its Revolutionary narrative. Like today, the state was a rich mix of distinct languages, religions, and cultures. Loyalties were roughly divided between those supporting the Revolution, those opposed, and the rest who were uncommitted. Allegiances bred bitter divisions and deep suspicion, creating in many ways a civil war. By the end of the War, the state suffered more damage than most and endured more violent clashes than any other.

The traveling exhibition explores this tumultuous period through the stories of everyday people under extraordinary circumstances. They urge us to consider how their stories echo through time, and what we can do to fulfill the promises and ideals of the Revolution.

Don't miss your chance to see this exhibition, it will only be at SCAHC for two weeks!

See the Web Page for more details.
