You won’t have to travel far this summer to immerse yourself in the world of those who witnessed the American Revolution.

The Flower Mound chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will host an exhibit at the Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.

The traveling exhibit will have 14 display panels that bring America’s founding to life.

There will also be interactive kiosks that tell the story of several people — Patriots and British loyalists — who witnessed the war.

They include William Flora, a free Black man, who fought in and became the hero of the Battle of Great Bridge in Virginia. Visitors can also learn about Sarah Osborn Benjamin, who followed her husband to camp and mended clothes for soldiers. She spoke with George Washington twice during her service.

If spies are more of your thing, the kiosk will also tell the story of Peggy Shippen Arnold, a beautiful socialite who became Benedict Arnold’s wife and passed letters for him.

The traveling exhibit will be on display from July 27 to Aug. 12.
