Celebrating Our Families and Patriots Exhibit

“As our nation approaches its 250th birthday in 2026, we hope museum patrons will join us as we celebrate our community’s representation in the Revolutionary War,” said Nancy Gartner, D.A.R. Regent.

“Since the Princeton-Illinois chapter was founded in 1896, nearly 400 women from Bureau County have honored their past by becoming Daughters of the American Revolution. We’ll be telling their stories and sharing the remarkable service and sacrifice made by their Patriots in our beautiful new ‘America 250’ display at the Bureau County History Center.”

This exhibit will be open on Fridays and Saturdays from 1:00pm until 5:00pm in the historic Clark Norris Museum.
