Across the United States, countless museums, battlefields and monuments aim to educate Americans and international travelers on special aspects of American history. One of the most noteworthy is the Museum of the American Revolution, which honors and preserves America’s fight for independence and triumph over King George III’s imperialistic rule nearly 250 years ago.
Located on the eastern end of Independence National Historic Park in Philadelphia — just a few blocks from Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787, the museum broke ground in 2014 and opened to the public in 2017.
