The Promise of Liberty Exhibition Tour

Special advisor Seth Kaller and the Peoria Riverfront Museum curatorial team take you on an unforgettable guided tour of The Promise of Liberty. Guest curated by legendary filmmaker Ken Burns, this powerful exhibition explores America’s boldest idea—that liberty belongs to all—and the ongoing work to make that promise real.

From a rare July 1776 printing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution’s first newspaper appearance, to Lincoln in Peoria, the Emancipation Proclamation, Frederick Douglass, Charles White, and the writings of Betty Friedan, experience extraordinary artifacts that shaped our nation’s story.
