Tennessee Voices, American Stories

As the United States commemorates its 250th anniversary, Tennessee Voices, American Stories explores how individual Tennesseans have connected with and contributed to the creation and development of the nation. The American Revolution encompasses both the nation's formative conflict with Great Britain and the ongoing process of fully realizing the country's foundational ideals.

The exhibit features three areas centered on key concepts from the preamble to the United States Constitution: "We the People," "A More Perfect Union," and "The Blessings of Liberty." Each area includes artifacts and stories related to remarkable people who helped to build Tennessee and the United States. Some of these individuals are well-known; others are not. However, they each have made their own contributions to our shared past.
