Freedom 250 Mobile Museum

The Freedom 250 Mobile Museum is coming to Farmerville May 3-5! You do NOT want to miss this chance to see the giant interactive museum that celebrates our country's 250th anniversary, its history, and its accomplishments growing as a democracy. The Freedom 250 Truck will be located in the Union Parish Courthouse parking lot, Farmerville, LA. HOURS: Sunday, 12 to 5 p.m.; Monday and Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. FREE admission! Bring the kids! (They will love the cool technological gizmos.)

Union Museum of History and Art, in partnership with the Town of Farmerville and the Union Parish Parish Police Jury, is proud to present this event to the entire region. The museum would like to thank Speaker Mike Johnson's Congressional office for assisting in making the Freedom 250 Mobile Museum a reality for Farmerville.

This mobile museum (an 18-wheeler) brings the story of American independence to people of all ages. With interactive and inspiring content, the exhibits tell the extraordinary story of how 13 colonies declared independence, defeated the greatest empire in the world and secured American sovereignty 250 years ago. With engaging elements such as quizzes, a kiosk to sign your name digitally to the Declaration of Independence and a wall of 50 American heroes, these exhibits celebrate the remarkable achievements that 250 years have made possible.

The Freedom 250 truck — part of the nationwide “Freedom Trucks” mobile museum tour — was developed by Freedom 250, a nonpartisan initiative created to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding. Additional collaborators were Hillsdale College (Michigan) and PragerU (The Hill). The initiative was also supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a federal agency that helped fund and facilitate the creation of the trucks.
