The Founders Museum includes photographs and information about the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 6 influential Ladies of the Revolution and 20 key moments in the battle for Independence. Each individual exhibit displays a QR code taking viewers to a virtual museum including extended biographies of the founders, reenactors bringing the events of the revolution to life and the founders speaking their thoughts on a founding directly to us. The exhibit on the walls between offices in the outer square of the first floor of the Capitol is available for viewing during public building hours through the summer of 2026.
