Becoming the United States Exhibit

April 11 through July 31, 2026
Becoming the United States exhibit is a stirring new exhibit that celebrates America’s 250th birthday by tracing the nation’s journey from revolutionary sparks to a unified republic.

Through powerful artifacts, immersive storytelling, and interactive displays, visitors will explore the moments that shaped independence from colonial unrest and the signing of the Declaration of Independence, to the forging of the Constitution and the birth of democratic ideals. Historic documents, period clothing, and hands-on experiences bring this transformative era to life, offering a deeper understanding of the people, conflicts, and dreams that gave rise to the United States.

It’s a compelling tribute to resilience, innovation, and the enduring spirit of freedom!

The exhibit is brought to you in part by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

Frisco Heritage Center Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10am to 5pm.
