Terrains of Independence is a free public exhibition at the Leventhal Center, located inside the Boston Public Library’s Central Library in Copley Square. The exhibition focuses on a key geographic question: why did so many of the pivotal moments of the early American Revolution happen in Boston and Massachusetts? Using one of the most significant public map collections in the country, we will draw visitors into a place-based reconsideration of Revolutionary history. The exhibition runs April 3, 2025, through March 2026. More: https://www.leventhalmap.org/articles/terrains-of-independence-preview/
