Exhibition 'Moments that Made US' in Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center
Our story was never inevitable. We shaped it at every turn.
Our inaugural exhibit is now being shown at the Downtown Branch Art Gallery (30 S. Mission, Wenatchee). The exhibition looks back across centuries and highlights both challenging and celebratory times from the colonial era to more recent generations. The exhibition explores five themes drawn directly from the Declaration of Independence: Created Equal; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; Free and Independent States; Consent of the Governed; and We Mutually Pledge.
The featured moments from American history inspire curiosity about the events that shaped the nation. They remind us that our story was never inevitable, we shaped it at every turn. The exhibition was developed through a multi-state collaboration to ensure that Americans throughout the nation would have the opportunity to meaningfully engage in the nation’s 250th anniversary, while highlighting significant stories from Washington State and North Central Washington.
