America 250: We the People

On view May 23–September 7, 2026

In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, the Everhart is presenting a special exhibition chronicling America’s founding, formation, and its fruition as the world’s model in rule by “we the people.” 

The exhibition includes artifacts from the American Revolutionary War Era, through the trials and tribulations that challenged the new nation, and onto the present, encompassing original flags, clothing, weapons, paintings and prints highlighting the nation as it turns 250.

Focuses include the infamous Sullivan’s March through Northeastern PA, replicas of Colonial Williamsburg and reproduction revolutionary war weapons and clothing, and original paintings and prints by local master John Willard Raught, and by modern masters Robert Indiana, Ed Ruscha, N.C. Wyeth, and Jacob Lawrence, among others.
