American Independence Museum

Presented by the William W. Treat Foundation, children’s educational programming at the American Independence Museum (AIM) is expanding this summer to include six minicamps for ages 7 to 11.

One aspect that sometimes goes unseen is the work required to preserve history, a reality that will be visible when the American Independence Museum (AIM) opens for the 2024 season on Thursday, May 9.

At the American Independence Museum (AIM), “building community” is one of the conceptual pillars that support We Are One, a multi-year campaign that informs all programming, exhibits, and events.

On Saturday, May 4, at 11:00 a.m., the American Independence Museum (AIM) will host an Open House at Folsom Tavern as part of an event to unveil a new pocket park in Exeter. Located across the street from AIM’s Ladd-Gilman House at 223 Water Street, the park honors Exeter’s Black Revolutionary War soldiers, their families, and the community in which they lived for more than one hundred years.

Second-year Master’s-level student at Idaho State, Norra Cardillo recently visited the American Independence Museum (AIM) in (re)search of women’s experiences in colonial times and the Revolutionary War by historically analyzing the stories of her matrilineal ancestors.

Revolutionary history is not just relevant but also fun, according to Kelsey Curley, whose 7-year-old son Bennett participated in a minicamp at the American Independence Museum (AIM) last summer.

On Thursday, May 2, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., von Trapp Brewing returns to the American Independence Museum (AIM) to kick off its 2024 season at a special spring Beer for History.

As part of their Educating Children & Youth initiative, sponsored in part by M&T Bank, the American Independence Museum (AIM) will host “Multiple Perspectives: Patriots & Loyalists For Homeschoolers” on Wednesday, April 17.

One of four initiatives within the American Independence Museum’s (AIM) We Are One multi-year campaign leading up to the nation’s 250 anniversary, “Educating Children & Youth” has a new sponsor in M&T Bank.

The American Independence Museum (AIM) has received a $10,000 grant from Americana Corner as part of its Preserving America Grant Program.
