VA 250 Mobile Museum Experience: May 28
More than just a static display, “Out of Many, On” is a cutting-edge, immersive, and hands-on exhibition housed within a custom-built 53-foot expandable tractor-trailer. Utilizing high-tech displays, interactive exhibits, and compelling artifacts, the museum offers visitors of all ages an engaging journey through the pivotal events, groundbreaking ideas, and diverse individuals who shaped America in its earliest days.
It highlights Virginia’s essential contributions as the birthplace of the nation and its ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union. The visit is particularly relevant to the Kilmarnock area, a community with its own deep connections to the Revolutionary era. During the 18th century, what is now Kilmarnock
(known then by names like “The Crossroads” and “Steptoe’s Ordinary”) was a vital rural and commercial hub in the Northern Neck. Residents of Lancaster and Northumberland counties, where the town is located, actively supported the Patriot cause by contributing men to the militia, providing essential supplies, and upholding the revolutionary spirit prevalent throughout Virginia’ s Tidewater region.
Totally FREE and family friendly. But only here 1 day!
