Lewis County Historical Museum – Moments That Made US

The Lewis County Historical Museum will host the Moments That Made US Exhibit!

Moments That Made US, a special exhibition during the America 250 commemoration, explores how generations of Americans have given meaning to the ideals set out in the Declaration of Independence. 

The exhibition looks back across centuries and highlights both challenging and celebratory times from the colonial era to more recent generations. The exhibition explores five themes drawn directly from the Declaration of Independence: Created Equal; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; Free and Independent States; Consent of the Governed; and We Mutually Pledge. The featured moments from American history inspire curiosity about the events that shaped the nation. They remind us that our story was never inevitable; we shaped it at every turn. 

Admission to the Museum varies: $5 Adults, $4 Senior, Student, and Military
