FEATURED EVENTS

Fireworks aren’t the only light show on July 4th. Shortly after sunset, the Full Buck Moon (a traditional name for July’s Full Moon) will pass through the outermost portion of the Earth’s shadow, a subtle event called a penumbral lunar eclipse. Join Lowell Observatory educators at the Giovale Open Deck Observatory at 8pm AZ/PT on Saturday, July 4, 2020, for a live stream of this penumbral lunar eclipse.

Join us for a virtual visit to our animal sanctuary in the Catskills Mountains of New York. Although you’ll be visiting us online, we aim to make you feel like you’re right here with us! You’ll be getting up close and personal with our quirky, loveable goats, while you help to give each of them some love & attention.

The powerful words of the Declaration of Independence founded a new nation on the revolutionary idea that “all men are created equal” with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration’s promise of liberty and equality has been expanding ever since, yet still remains a beautiful—but unfulfilled—dream. The American Revolution lives on in all of us as we continue the work of advancing these promises for all people. During a weeklong Fourth of July celebration, the Museum of the American Revolution will offer free, interactive virtual experiences for all ages that explore the Declaration’s promise.
