On November 13, 2025, at 6:30 PM, the Museum will host a preview reception for our newest exhibition in the Adeline Moses Loeb Gallery, Path to Liberty: Orders, Discipline and Daily Life. This exhibition includes orderly books that detail how officers used daily orders to train, manage, and discipline soldiers, turning ordinary colonists into a trained force capable of challenging the world’s most powerful army. Featured in the exhibition is the book used by Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge (best known for his leadership of the Culper Spy Ring during the American Revolutionary War) while stationed in New York in the summer of 1776. The exhibition opens to the public on November 14th.
The reception, which will include wine, beer and hors d'oeuvres, will include brief remarks around 7:00 PM from special guests and the exhibition's curators, who will be available to answer questions from attendees about the entire Path to Liberty series throughout the evening.
Path to Liberty: Orders, Discipline and Daily Life is a new special exhibition in the Museum’s Path to Liberty series that already includes Path to Liberty: The Emergence of a Nation and Path to Liberty: The War Reimagined. Path to Liberty is a chronological, multi-year, multi-installment, multi-gallery special exhibition featuring communications documents, artifacts, and works of art from the Museum’s permanent collection telling the history of the American Revolution from 1775 to 1783, with a distinctive focus on what occurred in New York and the surrounding areas. The exhibitions are part of the Museum’s broader Liberty 250® program that commemorates the 250th anniversaries of our Nation’s founding through exhibitions, lectures, programs, and commemorative events. Liberty 250® launched in April 2025 with the commemoration of the Battles of Lexington and Concord and the opening of our Path to Liberty series.
