Visitors to the Museum of the American Revolution during Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 5–7, will find living history, special talks and hands-on activities for the family, with children 12 and under receiving free admission. Tickets must be purchased at the front desk (free admission is not redeemable online).

There are many kid-friendly features of the current special exhibition, and the core galleries also have experiences created just for children, according to the museum.

Labor Day weekend highlights include The Declaration’s Journey, which explores the history and global impact of the Declaration of Independence from 1776 to today; Revolution Place, a family-friendly discovery center that explores the lively, diverse Old City neighborhood during the 1700s; and Meet the Revolution, with historian Daniel Sieh exploring the lives of Asians in the United States in the 18th century.

There also are 10-minute talks on the Marketplace and Revolution, when what you bought and who you bought it from said a lot about who you were and where your loyalties lay; and the March on Washington, about the 1963 March on Washington and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

There also are “Discovery Carts” that feature replica objects related to the artisans and makers of the Revolutionary era who helped supply the Continental Army and produced everyday household goods, as well as information on printing in the 18th century.
