Keep the Liberty 250 Exhibit on the Move!
Give $250 (or any amount) to help celebrate America's 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this year — by helping to keep the Liberty 250 exhibit on the road throughout 2026!
The Liberty 250 is a compelling 180-linear-foot display of large-scale historical panels traveling from community to community in a wrapped 21-foot enclosed trailer. This mobile installation tells the powerful story of America’s War for Independence, guiding visitors through a visual narrative of how ordinary people with extraordinary courage forged a new nation. With a deep emphasis on honoring the veterans who sacrificed for the cause of liberty, this educational journey is entirely volunteer-run and relies on public support to cover over-the-road operational costs and meet the rapid wave of event invitations across the region.

What is the Liberty 250 exhibit?
The Liberty 250 is a 180-linear-foot display of beautiful large-scale panels. It travels from location to location in a 21-foot enclosed trailer wrapped in high-impact graphics, and it tells the story of America’s War for Independence. Through a compelling visual and narrative journey, visitors learn how ordinary people and extraordinary courage forged a new nation. With a special emphasis on veterans who sacrificed and served for the cause of liberty, the exhibit made its debut over Memorial Day weekend at Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado. Now we have requests to bring the exhibit to 6-10 other locations this summer. The more people who see the exhibit, the more requests we have!
What will donations support?
Keeping the exhibit on the road requires ongoing funding to cover fuel, supplies, hardware and tools, exhibit repairs and printing of all kinds of promotional materials to keep the public informed and connected. Exhibit production and the first promotional expenses totaled $25,000. We are now asking for people who care about the ongoing education of future generations to help us keep the Liberty 250 exhibit on the road this summer by giving a generous donation! The exhibit is owned by Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado, and all manpower is provided by volunteers.
