Happy 251st birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps! ⚓️
The Continental Marines, as the Marine Corps was initially called, was formed by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on this day in 1775. Tun Tavern, which was located about two blocks from the Museum here in historic Philadelphia, is often regarded as the birthplace of the Marine Corps.
We were joined at the Museum today by living historian and retired U.S. Marine Lieutenant Colonel Gregory Starace, who discussed the origins of the Marine Corps and their contributions, alongside sailors and state-organized Marines, to the Revolutionary War.

Following the Seven Years’ War, British authorities constructed military roads, absorbed Native American pathways, established postal routes, and solidified supply lines across the American interior. Using this increasingly complex web of communication and transportation they aimed to control the continent and strengthen imperial authority over the Indigenous peoples who had lived across the Ohio River Valley and Appalachian Mountains for millennia. Yet as tensions grew throughout the 1760s and ’70s, these arteries of empire paved the way for the whispers of rebellion across wide swaths of the North American colonies. This infrastructure served as a critical mechanism for the movement of people, things, and ideas to and from the backcountry.
“Roads to Power, Roads to Crisis” offers a spatial history of the American Revolution, arguing that the physical infrastructure of the British Empire directly enabled its own downfall. Author Alec Zuercher Reichardt challenges traditional narratives that focus solely on ideological discourse in coastal cities, turning the reader’s attention instead to the muddy, hard-carved pathways, roads, and turnpikes of the American interior. With the physical means to transport news, ideas, and goods that turned beliefs into action, routes built to tether the colonies to London instead allowed a fragmented people to communicate and unite against the Crown.

👓 Discover Native American stories and meet leaders of independence movements for Native American nations, like the Mashpee Wampanoag, in our special exhibition this #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth.
In “The Declaration’s Journey,” presented by Griffin Catalyst, explore the story of Joseph Amos, a leader in the Mashpee Wampanoag fight for self-government, and see a pair of spectacles he wore during his adult life. Blind from an early age, Amos memorized the Bible with his mother’s assistance. He became the first ordained Mashpee Wampanoag minister and served as a spiritual leader of his people for decades. He joined Pequot minister William Apess to advocate for Mashpee Wampanoag rights and sovereignty in the 1830s.
Before his death in 1869, Amos spoke at a hearing about the Massachusetts plan to extend United States citizenship to Mashpee Wampanoag people, whose tribe traces its history on Cape Cod back over 12,000 years. Amos knew this day would come and hoped that gaining rights would not come at the expense of losing land. Echoing the Declaration of Independence, the Mashpee resolved, “that we, as a tribe, will rule ourselves, and have the right to do so; for all men are born free and equal…”
See Amos’ spectacles, on loan from the estate of Eleanor Pocknet Harding, and more objects that tell the story of the fight for Mashpee independence on your visit.

#OnThisDay in 1746, Absalom Jones, who formed the Free African Society alongside Rev. Richard Allen in 1787 and founder of the Historic African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas, was born. Growing up enslaved in Delaware, Absalom Jones moved to Philadelphia with his enslaver and attended school at night. After gaining his freedom in 1784, Jones became the first Black man to be ordained in the Episcopal Church.
In 1799, Jones, Allen, and other free Black Philadelphians drafted this petition on view in our exhibition “The Declaration’s Journey,” presented by @GriffinCatalyst, asking Congress to abolish the slave trade and Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. Basing their arguments on the Declaration of Independence, they asserted that “as we are men, we may be admitted to partake of the Liberties and unalienable Rights therein held forth.” The petition caused much debate in Congress, but, with near unanimity (only one dissenting vote), Congress agreed that the Constitution did not give it the power to make laws on some of the issues called out in the petition.
See the petition, on loan from @usnatarchives & Records Administration, in “The Declaration’s Journey,” on your next visit.

Today is #ElectionDay! Have you cast your ballot yet? 🗳️
Explore stories of women’s suffrage from the 18th century to today on your visit to the Museum. In our core galleries, meet the nation’s first women voters in New Jersey where property-owning women and free people of color held the right to vote from 1776–1807 thanks to the state’s own radical constitution – a right that was later revoked and then reserved for only white men. Our “When Women Lost the Vote” online exhibit digs into these stories and a tableau scene on view in our core galleries introduces three women who may have voted in New Jersey.
Progress into the 19th and 20th centuries in our current special exhibition “The Declaration’s Journey,” presented by @griffincatalyst, which explores how the Declaration of Independence inspired the movement for voting rights and women’s suffrage before the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920. View objects like suffragist, writer, and orator Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s writing desk, a ballot box made from a blueberry crate, and a printing of the 1848 Declaration of Sentiments.
The little-known story of the early women voters in New Jersey, and women’s fight to regain that right to vote nearly a century later, showcase the fragility of rights that are assumed today. Get out and vote! ✅

We’re turning all the clocks back today for the end of Daylight Saving Time! Use your extra hour to find these clocks around our core galleries and special exhibition on your next visit:
🕰 This gilded mantle clock, on loan from Bibliothèque municipale de Versailles and on display in our special exhibition “The Declaration’s Journey,” presented by Griffin Catalyst, celebrates the end of the Revolutionary War and the independence of the United States.
🕰 The Pennsylvania government confiscated this tall case clock, on view in our core galleries, from the Roberts family in 1778. John Roberts, a prosperous Quaker and mill owner who lived northwest of Philadelphia, attempted to remain neutral during the early years of the Revolutionary War and was later imprisoned and ultimately hanged for treason.
🕰 Clockmaker George Miller of Germantown, Pennsylvania, produced this tall case clock on view in our core galleries. It commemorates General James Wolfe, a popular British hero of the French and Indian War (1754-1763), with an engraved portrait of him above the clock face.
🕰 Words from Major General Richard Henry Lee’s famous eulogy of George Washington – “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen” – appear below the dial on this mantel clock made following Washington’s death in Dec. 1799.

Do you always feel like somebody’s watching you? 👀
For Halloween, we decided to check in on these porcelain figures of George and Martha Washington in our collection. The dolls, originally in the collection of the Valley Forge Historical Society, date to the 1940s. But strange things started happening after Assistant Registrar Matt Van Nostrand put them back on the shelf...
We are sorry for any nightmares caused by this video. Happy Halloween! 🎃

🎧 We’re excited to announce the launch of a new Ukrainian-language audio tour of our special exhibition, “The Declaration’s Journey,” presented by @GriffinCatalyst, now available!
Created in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine in the United States, the Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Philadelphia, and the Ukrainian Federation of America Education Program and with funding from Summerfield Baldwin Jr. Foundation, the Museum is the first in Philadelphia to offer a Ukrainian-language exhibition audio guide. The new audio tour is launched in conjunction with an initiative of First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska (@olenazelenska_official) to introduce Ukrainian-language audio guides at leading cultural and historical landmarks around the world. Ukraine is one of the nearly 20 nations whose stories are represented in “The Declaration’s Journey” exhibition — a selection of the more than 100 that have integrated the Declaration’s ideals in their own movements.
