Printing the American Revolution

February 21 @ 10:00 amAugust 22 @ 5:00 pm

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, explore how print culture was crucial to the American Revolution. Prints, books, and newspapers shaped colonists’ reactions to British rule, informed Americans of major developments during the war, and commemorated beloved leaders after the United States gained its independence. Read about these important works thanks to students’ research in Dr. Mary Draper’s Revolutionary America class from the History Department at MSU Texas.

February 21-August 22 | Tuesday through Friday 10am-5pm | Saturdays 1-5pm (except university holidays)

Exhibitions and programs are made possible in part by grants from the City of Wichita Falls as administered by the Wichita Falls Alliance for Arts and Culture, the Wichita Falls Area Community Foundation, and the Texas Commission on the Arts; the J.S. Bridwell Foundation; the Bryant Edwards Foundation; the Fain Foundation; the Lola Pitzer Endowment; and MSU Texas with support from the Museum Trust Fund and individual donors to Texoma Gives and the Museum Annual Fund.
