Kick off America’s 250th birthday celebrations at Stuhr Museum with a special event previewing "The American Revolution", the highly anticipated new documentary from Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt.

Previews of The American Revolution will be shown at 11:15 a.m., 12:15 or 1:15 p.m. All previews are identical. Join a hands-on quilting workshop for all ages and skill levels led by members of the Stuhr Museum team and contribute to creating a community quilt in honor of America 250.
