Winona – The Declaration of Independence and Liberty, Then and Now: A Community Conversation

Join us at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM) for a community conversation in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. This conversation, “The Declaration of Independence and Liberty, Then and Now” brings community members together to reflect upon the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the importance of these principles in our daily lives, what our shared values are as residents of Minnesota and the United States, and how we envision the country will look 250 years into the future.

As MMAM’s ongoing exhibition “The Coast and the Sea” considers how waterways shaped American identity, commerce, conflict, and expansion, this community conversation invites visitors to reflect on the evolving ideals of liberty and citizenship that developed alongside that history. MMAM is excited to host this conversation and encourages participants to see the exhibition before or after the program.

Gather with neighbors for a facilitated discussion grounded in curiosity, respect, honesty, and active listening to deepen understanding.

This event is part of “The Declaration of Independence and Liberty, Then and Now” conversation series, presented in partnership with Braver Angels of Minnesota, the Minnesota Historical Society, and the Minnesota Humanities Center.
