Revolutionary Stories from the NJ State Archives
The New Jersey State Museum, in partnership with the New Jersey State Archives, is pleased to present a new exhibition celebrating both the State of New Jersey’s and the United States’ 250th anniversary.
Entitled The Power to Change: Revolutionary Stories from the New Jersey State Archives, the exhibition highlights rarely seen federal and state charters, along with other pivotal documents and artifacts, which illuminate the ideas established during the Revolutionary era.
Visitors will explore how revolutionary ideals, fought for by our founders, influenced the newly established government and continue to allow for reinterpretation and adaptation today.
