America’s History Live continues at the Bucks County Visitor Center, 3207 Street Road, Bensalem, through March 21.
Its focus is on the anti-slavery and women’s suffrage movements, featuring the historic “Newtown Hall” of Newtown.
Life-sized replicas of many of the nation’s abolitionists, and early women’s suffrage pioneers are on display, spanning America from the early 1800s through the early 1900s. The exhibition also honors several key women from Pennsylvania who were instrumental in the women’s right to vote.
The Bucks County Children’s Corner of artwork and crafts – in celebration of Black History Month and Women’s History Month – with students’ artwork submissions is on display.
America’s History Live organizer Shirley Lee Corsey reached out to surrounding school districts, including Bensalem, the Bucks County Intermediate Unit, and Council Rock. The artwork theme is “What does Black History/Women’s History mean to you?”
“We sought to showcase the children’s creativity by supporting various forms of artistic expressions they wished to create – drawings, paintings, writings and/or poetry. Each of the top artwork winners to-date have been notified they will receive a $25 gift card.
Students with their parents, teacher, and/or school administrator are invited to “MASK-UP” and come to the Bucks County Visitor Center at 1:30 p.m. Saturday March 20, to receive their gift.
