On May 9, the University of West Florida Historic Trust’s Pensacola Museum of History opened “Road to Revolution: Commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the American War for Independence,” highlighting how Pensacola helped shape the outcome of the American Revolution. Developed in partnership with America250, the exhibit explores how a distant Gulf Coast port played a pivotal role in a global conflict.
Featured objects include an original proclamation from King George III, a British officer’s sword and locally discovered artifacts that offer a closer look at life in Pensacola during a pivotal moment in history.
