New Exhibit!
Wed - Fri 1 - 4 pm
1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays of the month

This exhibition presents a personal look at the lives and conditions of Monmouth’s men, women, and children in the decades leading up to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.

The colonies were not equipped to provide everything an 18th-century American might need or want. Typical colonial homes, even those that were rural, were filled with objects from around the world! Visit the Discovery Room gallery to learn about the goods imported from far away places such as Great Britain, Ireland, the West Indies, the Netherlands, Turkey, and India, and discover how some of these imports served as the catalyst for revolution...

The second floor of this two-floor exhibit is not handicapped-accessible. A digital tour of the upstairs galleries can be provided upon request.
