This exhibit gives guests an opportunity to learn how the Revolutionary War played out in Amherst – directly from the voices of the residents who lived through it. Through primary source documents, the exhibit brings visitors on a journey from the Declaration of Independence in Amherst to the stirrings of revolution and eventual outbreak of war. In Defense of our Just Rights and Liberties is made possible by support from the Amherst Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
