About the Exhibit
“Revolutionary Threads” honors America250, the multi-year national commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of American Independence in 1776.

Moreover, it will travel across Kentucky to museums, libraries, and historical societies through December 2026, sharing this important part of our nation’s history.
