WILLIAMSBURG – Experience Virginia’s central role in the American Revolution when the VA250 Mobile Museum Experience, “Out of Many, One,” visits the Abram Frink, Jr. Community Center as part of Williamsburg Regional Library’s Saturdays at Frink Outreach programming on March 14.
WRL says this innovative traveling exhibit will bring the story of the nation’s founding directly to the parking lot of the Frink Community Center. The mobile museum will be free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This visit complements WRL’s month of One Book One Community programming centered around the book This Fierce People by Alan Pell Crawford, which explores the Revolutionary War’s southern campaign.
“Out of Many, One” is described as 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. The American Revolution 250 Commission says it highlights Virginia’s essential contributions as the birthplace of the nation and its ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union.
Saturdays @ Frink is a WRL Outreach program that evolved in 2022 from a once-monthly, family-focused STEAM event into four weekly events centered on arts activities, hands-on fun with technology, digital navigation, and continued STEAM events.
The program, which receives support from the Friends of Williamsburg Regional Library Foundation, provides access to hands-on experiences and creative projects to families for whom library access may be challenging. Over the past 7 years, over 10,800 people have participated in WRL programs at the Abram Frink Jr. Community Center in the Grove area.
