American Revolution Experience

The Cary Asbury Station Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Battlefield Trust in partnership with the Town of Cary and the Downtown Cary Park are pleased to present the American Revolution Experience at the Gathering House at the Downtown Cary Park from July 18 to July 25, 2026.
From an award-winning website to an in-demand pop-up exhibition, the American Revolution Experience, a collaborative project of the American Battlefield Trust and the Daughters of the American Revolution is beginning a new phase in its quest to connect modern audiences with the fascinating story of our nation’s origin.
Where it Began
As tensions mounted across the Thirteen Colonies, the entire Revolutionary Generation was faced with a difficult choice: to pledge loyalty to the Patriot cause and the prospect of a new nation, or remain loyal to the King as subjects of the British Empire.
This digital exhibition examines the lives of some of the men and women who witnessed the dawn of a new nation, and how their decision shaped the journey they faced. Launched in summer of 2022, this is the progenitor to the current traveling exhibition.
The innovative pop-up exhibition includes display panels and interactive digital kiosks that use storytelling, illustration, technology and unique artifacts and primary accounts to connect modern audiences with the people and places that shaped the birth of our nation.
