I visited the Museum of the American Revolution ahead of America's 250th birthday. Here are the coolest things I saw.

"Located down the street from Independence Hall, where both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were signed, the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia is gearing up for the celebration with a special exhibition, "The Declaration's Journey." The collection features over 120 artifacts that chronicle the impact of the Declaration of Independence in the US and around the world."

"The museum also features a permanent collection with artifacts focusing on the creation of America as an independent nation. The exhibits guide visitors through exploring four questions: How did people become revolutionaries? How did the Revolution survive its darkest hour? How revolutionary was the war? And what kind of nation did the revolutionaries create? Adult admission costs $25 when purchased in advance on the museum's website and is valid for two consecutive days."
