Tour the Freedom Truck: Celebrating America's 250th
Join Work Truck as we visit one of six Freedom Trucks touring the country for our nation's 250th celebration. This one stopped at Peterbilt Motors in Denton, Texas.
During a visit to Peterbilt in Denton, Texas, Work Truck toured one of six Freedom Truck Mobile Museums traveling across the United States to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.
Fittingly, a Peterbilt truck hauled this mobile museum.
The Freedom Truck Mobile Museum is an interactive traveling exhibition that brings American history to communities across the country. Visitors can explore the stories of the people who helped build the United States and discover the nation's heritage of innovation, independence, and inspiration.
What's Inside the Freedom Truck?
The mobile museum offers interactive experiences that allow visitors to engage with American history, including:
- Signing their names to the Declaration of Independence
- Cracking a code associated with George Washington's network of spies
- Learning about Americans from different backgrounds who contributed to the nation's development
- Exploring stories of American innovation and inspiration
How Did the Freedom Truck Project Begin?
Freedom 250, a national, nonpartisan organization leading the celebration of America's 250th birthday, commissioned the Freedom Truck Mobile Museum.
The program includes six specially designed museum trailers built by Spevco in North Carolina.
The project was made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, with exhibition content and design provided by Hillsdale College and PragerU.
