Forging a Nation Exhibit from America250NC

Explore how North Carolina helped forge a new nation during one of the most transformative periods in history. Through maps, historical documents, and everyday objects, this exhibit reveals the state’s role in the struggle for independence, from early protests against British rule and the battles fought on Carolina soil to the drafting of the Constitution. Forging a Nation invites visitors to witness how ordinary people, conflict, and conviction shaped North Carolina’s history during the American Revolution.
The Forging a Nation exhibit will be on exhibit at South Campus Library from August 24-September 11 and at the North Campus Library from September 14-October 1. For more information email laurie.robb@rccc.edu
