HURON The S.D. Society Daughters of the American Revolution is excited to announce the opening of the American Revolution Experience at the 2024 South Dakota State Fair.
The American Revolution Experience, an interactive multi-media traveling exhibit celebrating Americas 250th birthday in 2026, will be on display daily throughout the State Fair in Younger Hall near Gate 6.
Gov. Kristi Noem plans to make a presentation at the display on Thursday, Aug. 29, which is Veterans Day at the fair.
The innovative pop-up exhibition includes display panels and interactive digital kiosks that use storytelling, illustration, technology and unique artifacts and primary accounts to connect modern audiences with the people and places that shaped the birth of our nation.
The American Revolution would not have happened without the decisions, sacrifices, and valor of ordinary people, said DAR President General Pamela Rouse Wright. DAR is honored to have collaborated with the American Battlefield Trust on this initiative to highlight some of our Patriots and their roles in the founding of this great country. We are thrilled for people in communities across the country to learn more about these individuals.
Created through a collaboration between the American Battlefield Trust and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, the exhibit is also made possible by matching funds from the National Park Services American Battlefield Protection Program battlefield interpretation grants.
The traveling exhibit includes 12 panels highlighting thematic connections between profiled individuals and interactive kiosks that connect to the full digital biographies, provide documentary context on the Revolutionary War
The display will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 28 through Sept. 1, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 2.
