Chartering Freedom

The simple truth at the heart of the American Revolution is that people are born with certain natural rights, including "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." These and other rights of the American people are secured by this nation's founding documents, known collectovely as the Charters of Freedom: the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.


The Museum is back to its regular hours, but until June 15 after the opening of the exhibits, the Museum is still FREE.

Curator's Corner

Every museum has objects that are "found in the collections".  Many times these found in collections items remain a mystery, but that's where you come in.  If you have any information please let our collections staff know:  themuseum@nmjc.edu.
