Jane Bain Chapter of DAR to host history exhibit at Rodman Library

The Jane Bain Chapter of National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution will play host to the American Revolution Experience, a historic display, starting Aug. 12 at Rodman Public Library.

The exhibit will be open Aug. 12-16 at the library at  215 E. Broadway St. in Alliance. Hours are noon to 8 p.m. Monday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday.

The American Revolution Experiencelaunched online in its first digital-only iteration during Summer 2022.

“The American Revolution would not have happened without the decisions, sacrifices and valor of ordinary people,” said DAR President General Pamela Rouse Wright. “DAR is honored to have collaborated with the American Battlefield Trust on this initiative to highlight some of our Patriots and their roles in the founding of this great country. We are thrilled for people in communities across the country to learn more about these individuals.”

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.

“Independence may have been declared in Philadelphia by the Declaration’s 56 signers, but it was hard-won on the battlefields we protect by the thousands of Patriot soldiers from whom today’s Daughters trace descent,” said Trust President David Duncan.

“Together, our organizations bear witness to the fact that we are not so far removed from those impactful events, that there are meaningful ways to bridge those 250 years.”

Rodman Public Library is among scores of American libraries, historical societies and museums that will play host to the American Revolution Experiencethrough Spring 2025.

A longer-term mounting of the exhibit will remain at DAR’s national headquarters in Washington, D.C. Individual DAR chapters across the nation have partnered with institutions in their communities to offer venues for the exhibit, booking its current complement of copies to capacity; further inquiries will be placed on a waitlist.
