Join the Davidson College Archives and Special Collections with co-sponsor Davidson Historical Society to commemorate the U.S. Semiquincentennial! We invite the public and campus community to explore artifacts of the Revolutionary era from the archives’ collections. 

Drop-in between 2 and 4pm in Davidson College’s  Alvarez Student Union 900 Room on Thursday June 18th. We will host a short introductory presentation at 2pm before we transition to the self-guided, drop-in  portion of the program. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to see a curation of artifacts across several themes, from the personal pistols of General William Lee Davidson to the satin facsimiles of the mysterious Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, or more fondly, the “Meck Dec.”

Join us on this special dive into the Revolutionary era including insight into how collections capture certain perspectives of the time.

Public parking is available in a small lot behind the Union or along Patterson Court…
