Threads of Freedom: Quilting America’s Story, Featuring a Sneak Peek of “The American Revolution” (Read More)
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. This open-house-style event will explore the vital role that women and quilting play in stitching our national story from the Revolutionary War through Nebraska’s history and still today. Watch excerpts from "The American Revolution." Then, a talkback follows with Susan Long, an early American History lecturer from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, who will bring these pivotal moments to life. 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. Experience a pop-up exhibit showcasing treasured quilts from the Stuhr Museum’s collection and explore their entire campus. Registration is requested for this free event.
