New Display at the James Monroe Museum

JMM student interns Rebecca Lee and Rachel Frederick have completed an addition to the museum’s exhibit on “The Making of a Revolutionary.”

Called “The Continental Soldier: Young and Far Away from Home,” it shows through a display and an interactive component what life was like for James Monroe and the other young men who joined the revolutionary forces. Rachel and Rebecca researched, designed and installed the exhibit on their own, and they’ve done a great job.

We hope you’ll come by and see it! Remember, UMW faculty and staff always enter free.
