March 14, 2013 by HughE Dillon

The Museum of the American Revolution will soon be building new Museum within walking
distance of Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.  The Museum
just held its “Wrecking Ball” benefit gala as they need to demolish
the current structure to make way for a brand new museum building. 

 

Michael Quinn, Museum of the American Revolution President  greets the guests and tells them about the new museum which will rise on this location.

 

The American Revolution Center is a non-partisan, not-for-profit
501(c)(3) organization dedicated to engaging the public in the history
and enduring legacy of the American Revolution. The American Revolution
Center owns a distinguished collection of objects, artifacts and
manuscripts, and is working to establish a living memorial to the
American Revolution–The Museum of the American Revolution. For more
