The
goal is to celebrate America- its past and its future - in ways that both
adults and children will find engaging. The exhibit will be built in stages
with the idea that each stage can be a stand-alone exhibit and yet can work
with the other stages to create a major exhibit installation.
Stage 1 would be to build a "waving flag"
wall for displaying the American Dream Foundation's American History Documents
and artl the Freedom Gallery. This wall could be set up in malls or schools
as a preview of the extended exhibit.
Stage 2 would be creating an American Family
Plaza which would include an expanded Freedom Gallery, along with a 60-inch
monitor for viewing video and DVD presentations and seating for that area.
The expanded gallery would also include an interactive printing areal under
a liberty bell canopy, where visitors could print their own copy of the
Declaration of independence and sign it.
Stage 3 would be the children's interactive
exhibit at Treehouse which would be structured like a game board and would
feature interactive stations highlighting significant events or periods
in American History and would be complimented by a giant floor map game
of the United States.
Stage 4 would connect Stages 2 and 3 in a large
scale exhibition.
