About This Event
Our story was never inevitable. We shaped it at every turn. A marquee exhibition featuring more than forty artifacts that witnessed the moments that shaped the United States. This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition assembles treasures from American history rarely seen together - especially in the US West. Visitors will see artifacts spanning eight centuries, including ceramics made by Ancestral Puebloan people long before Europeans arrived in North America, tobacco pipes used by the colonists in Jamestown, the spurs George Washington wore at Valley Forge, the inkwell used by Grant and Lee to sign the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House, Jackie Robinson’s bat, moon rocks from Apollo 11, and more. In each of these turning points, visitors will encounter different perspectives on the struggles, triumphs, setbacks, and resilience that made this nation.
