Moments That Made Us
Also featured in the exhibit is a history display titled Moments That Made Us that highlights central themes contained within the Declaration of Independence, along with moments in U.S. history that demonstrate these ideals. These moments show us that our story was never inevitable; we shaped it at every turn.
Centennial Farms & Heritage Barns
April 4 — October 31, 2026: Montgomery County Then & Now: Centennial Farms & Heritage Barns. This new local history exhibit features the agricultural history of Montgomery County from its founding in 1822 to today. From agriculturalists like the Runyan family, whose farm has celebrated both centennial and bicentennial milestones, to historic barns around the county, to hundreds of local families participating in FFA and 4-H, Montgomery County has a rich and dynamic connection to the farming community.
