“It Happened Here: Life in New Rochelle During the American Revolution” at the NRCA Rotunda Gallery
Timed to coincide with the country’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, , NRCA’s original exhibit “It Happened Here: Life in New Rochelle During the American Revolution” examines the impact of this period on New Rochelle through early records, maps, and eyewitness accounts culled from the Westchester County Historical Society’s McDonald Interviews juxtaposed with a series of modern images by noted photographer Adam Pape.
“It Happened Here” — on exhibit at the New Rochelle Public Library in March — will move to the NRCA Rotunda Gallery from July 1st through September 4th as part New Rochelle’s celebration of America’s 250th birthday. A reception will be held on Saturday, July 11, from 11 am to 2 pm when New Rochelle 250 sponsors a community reading of the Declaration of Independence on the steps of City Hall. The event will include picnicking on the lawn in front of City Hall.
