Witness to Revolution: The Unlikely Travels of Washington’s Tent

Visit the Museum of the American Revolution over Winter Break, from Saturday, December 21, 2024, to Sunday, January 5, 2025, to experience the last days of the museum’s current special exhibit, Witness to Revolution: The Unlikely Travels of Washington’s Tent.

Since opening in February, Witness to Revolution has showcased to more than 60,000 visitors the stories of those who saved Washington’s War Tent, the cornerstone artifact from the museum’s collection, from being lost over the generations.

The exhibition brings together, in many cases for the first time, inspiring works of art, rare documents, and significant historical objects from public and private collections across the United States.

Witness to Revolution will remain open daily from 11 am to 5 pm through January 5, and is included with regular museum admission. The museum is closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Plus, learn what the holidays were like on the Revolutionary-era home front with special crafts, activities, pop-up talks and more that explore colonial life during the winter months.
