The exhibit arrives as communities across the country prepare to mark America's 250th anniversary, and Orange County is honored to be among the select Indiana communities chosen to host this nationally recognized experience.

The exhibition explores the history of American democracy — its ideals, its struggles, its triumphs, and its ongoing story — through compelling artifacts, photographs, and interactive elements. Presented as part of the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street program, with support from Indiana Humanities, "Voices & Votes" is designed to travel to the heart of communities like ours, connecting national themes to local stories and inviting reflection on what democracy means in places where people actually live, work, and build lives together.
