The Great Southwest Florida Regents Council of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is proud to host the American Revolution Experience at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center until April 24, 2025, in the Capital Gallery, second floor.
This innovative pop-up exhibition includes display panels and interactive digital kiosks that use storytelling, illustration, technology and unique artifacts and primary accounts to connect modern audiences with the people and places that changed the birth of our nation. Coinciding with the exhibition is the Echoes to Independence Art Show.
Visitors are invited 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?
Geared toward middle school, high school and adults this exhibit might also intrigue younger students.
