The related content is the core and soul of the Collection of Midnight Journey by Paul Revere and others. Just like the mainland army, it is the headquarters tent in Washington, the faded canvas, and the residence of the founding fathers in Ji Gu during the difficult winter. It will open on April 19 next year, and the tent will become the center of permanent collection. The tent will be placed in a 300-square-foot box, which is the second largest tent in America; The biggest tent has the stars and stripes of the Smithsonian National History Museum. In the museum's permanent collection, hundreds of cultural relics have never been shown to the public in the past 80 years. If there is,
Another exhibition will explain the symbolic meaning of the tree of freedom to visitors (American Revolution Museum). One of the exhibitions will immerse visitors in the debate about their role in the national revolution of Oneida. "We are a bit like a start-up with a history of 65,438+000 years," R Scott Stephenson, the museum's vice president for collection, exhibition and planning, told the Smithsonian. This paper describes that the museum has been devoted to cataloging and managing the warehouses of hidden treasures for decades, which were inherited from the Valley Forging History Association at the beginning of 2 1 century. "We are still trying to figure out how these items got here." (This connection still exists. This secret sacred urn wouldn't even exist in the revolutionary war if it weren't for the strange and lawsuit trip of the tent in Washington headquarters. George Washington had no children, Martha Washington did, and Daniel Parker custis married her until his death in 1757. Washington's headquarters tent was owned by the custis family until the end of the civil war, when it was confiscated from Confederate general Robert Lee and his wife Mary Anna custis Lee (Martha Washington's great-grandfather). The tent was kept under the supervision of the federal government for 40 years and occasionally exhibited under the name of the Smithsonian, until Li's eldest daughter Mary successfully sued * * * for owning it at the turn of the century.
It's pastor Herbert Burke. From 1909, young Mary custis Lee raised money for the Union Widows' Home. At that time, she spent 5000 dollars. Burke is an Anglican priest, an aspiring historian and an enthusiastic collector in Ji Gu. His informal collection of relics of the War of Independence was the core of what was then known as the Ji Gu Museum of American History (later known as the Ji Gu Historical Society). In the years before Burke died in 1933, Ty discussed the idea of building a more official museum. For decades, they have quietly collected a large number of collections in anonymous warehouses and distributed them to other institutions for years, but in other respects, they all lived in chaos and were forgotten in an obscure facility in central Pennsylvania.
The curator said that the prominent parts of these collections often highlight the unknown side of the war. In the battles of Lexington and Concord, a pair of gold medals were probably worn by loyalists who fought for the King's orange cavalry, an infantry battalion headquartered in Orange County, new york. 1777 In August, a set of camping cups made by Philadelphia silversmith Edward Milne was probably given to him two days before the parade in Washington. 1On July 6th, 776, a decadent edition of Pennsylvania Evening News included the best buried Luther in American history: under the classified advertisements and minutes of local meetings, the Continental Congress declared "a free and independent country" as public English for the first time. Even a beer glass of 1773 still has a faint aroma of rum and sugar. "You can smell the revolution," Stephenson said. Only two blocks away from the Independence Museum in Philadelphia, the museum will conduct an in-depth and comprehensive investigation of the turbulent history of the revolution for the first time. In turn, the role of the museum is to serve as a "gateway" to other colonial sites in the city, so that visitors may only see one aspect of the revolution when visiting liberty bell, the National Constitution Center and other noteworthy sites along Independence Square. Using more modern exhibits, the building focuses on creating an immersive entertainment around the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the long-term opposition of the colonies to Britain. The overwhelming screen and specially designed "video and sound environment" will take tourists from the coronation ceremony of King George III to the signing ceremony of the Declaration of Independence, and then to the front line of the battle.
Museum curator Michael Quinn told the Smithsonian: "We hope you can feel that you can be a part of the revolution." . "We want you to feel that you are really standing under the freedom tree in Boston or debating the Declaration of Independence."
It's King James' little Bible, which was carried in the Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775 and inscribed by its owner. This is the latest piece in the museum collection. At the beginning of the 20th century, part of General Washington's original sleeping tent and office tent appeared in this photo. After the death of George and Martha Washington, generations of custis and Lee family carefully preserved it. (Museum of American Revolution) These silver camping cups, and later commemorative inscriptions, were part of the camping equipment of General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War. 1777 In August, Edmund Milne, a silversmith in Philadelphia, made a set of 12 original cups in the shop to provide wine for the assistants and guests on the general's bench. (Museum of American Revolution) This museum has five books on English law in the early 8th century/kloc-0, which are listed in the Patrick Henry Heritage List 1799. Henry's print edition is also printed in three books. Before Henry acquired these properties, several of them belonged to other famous Virginians, probably in the early 1960s in 17, when he was studying and working in law. Phillis Wheatley is the first African-American poet published by the American Museum of Revolution. Her 65,438+0,773 poems on various themes have been well received in the European and American colonies, which proves that African descendants are equal in art and intelligence. (Museum of American Revolution) 1782, the Italian artist Xavier della Gatta described this imaginary battle scene in Germantown, probably a British officer. On the right is Benjamin Zhou's house.1In 998, the troops of the 40th British Regiment stopped the American attack here. During the excavation of the site of the Philadelphia Museum, more than 82,000 cultural relics in the city's formation and development since its earliest development were discovered. Quinn said: "For us, the best way for tourists to visit is that they decide to read a book. For people like Quinn and Stephenson, the opening of the museum in 20 17 not only marked the end of the institution's development in the past 20 years, but also was a century-long wait for the descendants of the Washington family. In the Pennsylvania Evening News published in August of 1906, Mary custis Lee sold Washington's tent to Burke. She said, "Apart from liberty bell and its other historical sites, there is no place like me in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. A special group composed of historians and cultural relics protection agencies, Li may finally realize her wish.
