A traveling exhibit on the Revolutionary War will be featured later this month in the Cape Fear Museum of History and Science in Wilmington.
On display from Dec. 11-29, “The American Revolution Experience” includes display panels and interactive digital kiosks that rely on “storytelling, illustration, technology and primary accounts to connect modern audiences with the people and places that shaped the birth of our nation,” organizers said.

“The traveling exhibit includes 12 panels highlighting thematic connections between profiled individuals and three interactive kiosks that connect to the full digital biographies, provide documentary context on the Revolutionary War and offer information on how to visit the places tied to these individuals today,” organizers continued.
The American Battlefield Trust, a land preservation and education organization, and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution collaborated on the exhibit.
An opening reception is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11. Cricket Crigler with the Daughters of the American Revolution will speak about the project to develop the exhibit with the American Battlefield Trust. After the reception, guests are invited to view the panel exhibition. This is a free event and light refreshments will be served.
