The State Museum of Pennsylvania is giving visitors one last chance to see some of its most treasured Revolutionary War artifacts before the building closes for a three-year renovation. Running through Aug. 2, the “Revolutionary Things” exhibit features more than 140 artifacts divided into three sections — relics and witness objects, commemorative art, and centennial and bicentennial anniversaries. The museum is promoting the exhibit as the United States marks its 250th anniversary.
