"When Are We US?" is only here for limited time so don't miss out! Sign the guestbook and be part of this temporary exhibit's legacy!

“When Are We US?” will be an exploration of the concepts of freedom, civic responsibility, overcoming challenge, and change as we lean into the ideals of democracy. “When Are We US?” helps us consider the roots of American democracy before 1776, and how the reverberations of American Independence continue to shape us today.

Content warning: The primary sources on display reflect the perspectives of their creators and some contain antiquated and offensive terms.

This exhibit will be on display on the second floor of the Museum of the Cape Fear from June 5th - June 12th, One Week Only!
