Mark your calendar NOW for an exciting week of exhibit and programs coming to Ormond Beach in February 2025!
Do you realize we are about to start celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War?
​
To commemorate the occasion, the Ormond Beach Historical Society is excited to announce the upcoming American Revolution Experience at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building, 42 North Beach Street from February 22 to March 3, 2025. The exhibit is FREE and open to the public daily.
​
The American Revolution Experience was created through a collaboration between the American Battlefield Trust and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. The traveling exhibit that includes 12 panels highlighting thematic connections between profiled individuals and three interactive kiosks that connect to the full digital biographies, provide documentary context on the Revolutionary War and offers information on how to visit the places tied to these individuals today.
The American Revolution Experience will travel to scores of libraries, historical societies and museums in the US through 2025, introducing visitors to a cast of historical characters with diverse experiences throughout the conflict and the places they visited on their journey. BUT this will be your only opportunity to see it in our local area.
To compliment the exhibit, and launch our local celebration of America’s 250th, the Ormond Beach Historical Society, with assistance from the Captain James Ormond Chapter DAR and the Daytona-Ormond Chapter of Sons of the American Revolution, has planned a host of fun and informative events throughout the 10 days including:
-
Daily viewing of the exhibit which is FREE and open to the public

Washington’s Birthday Party – a ticketed event
